Amy Clampitt Quote

Depth isn't everything: the spruce
has no taproot, but to hold on
spreads its underpinnings thin

Depth isn't everything: the spruce has no taproot, but to hold on spreads its underpinnings thin

Depth isn't everything: the spruce has no taproot, but to hold on spreads its underpinnings thin

Depth isn't everything: the spruce has no taproot, but to hold on spreads its underpinnings thin

Depth isn't everything: the spruce has no taproot, but to hold on spreads its underpinnings thin
