It is the 11th month at the 11th hour of the night and I am painting. My dreadlock tree roots are free from hair ties or bandanas and I sway them around, feeling them soft against my shoulders. I am loving them because they are ME. They were born out of a desire for change (both personal and social) and have grown from both the healthy and unhealthy energies of my body. They have changed a lot (just like my self) and they will keep changing with me. My history will forever be attached to them.
I heard recently that because your hair comes out of your Crown Chakra, it is infused with those spiritual energies. This energy stays attached to me through the tangled webs of dreadlocks and I therefore have to think about what kind of energies I am holding in my mind/body/soul. I believe these energies are reflected in the development of my tree roots (the roots on my head as well as the roots that ground me to Earth). This faith is deep motivation for self-improvement.
Some of these ramblings sound crazy! And I realize that not everyone will understand. But that's okay because I love myself and God loves me too.

Some other notes: dreadlocks still have good days and bad, just like myself. But I am approaching a year of dreadies and am preparing for a transformation. This upcoming year will be very important to me because there are many new beginnings and changes currently taking form in my life. The one year mark will be a symbolic moment to be grateful for this past dreadlocked year of development and to begin new growth.
