(illustration made for "Societies on The Move")
When people go away from their lands, they tear off their roots (memories and traditions) from the ground and take them in their travel. They will never lose 'em, never forget who they are, but they'll never be the same with their roots cut. So they met different people, with different roots, colors, thoughts and traditions. They share their stories and start planting new roots. Linked with others they create a new society, a new tree, different from both and richer than before.
