Tributaries of a monster river can wander away into the woods and form reflecting pools.
Some move ever so slowly; they can appear still to the undiscerning eye.
Water loving trees find their way to the river’s edge. Seedlings can root in the byways of the wandering tributaries.
Their roots sink deep into the mud, and they grow beside these reflecting pools. Some roots can grow so big and strong they can break rock.
To an observer the line between the real and reflected can become blurred.
