Haibun: "Moving Plants"

Sometimes it becomes necessary to find new homes for well-established plants. Maybe they have been doing so well, that their effusive natures are just not beneficial to the present environs. Roots are pruned, severely at times. Always the event requires physical, emotional, and spiritual fortitude from the gardener and endurance from the plant. The process of transplanting is, indeed, a moving experience.
