Rooted Tears

A ceramic pot with seedlings and a small sign in Vietnamese that reads 'Nông Dân Tí Hon,' along with a smaller terracotta pot with trailing green plant, and two books in front, one titled 'Hạt giống thần kỳ' with a leafy border design, on a rustic surface with a blurred green background.
An envelope sealed with red wax and a wax seal stamp is placed on torn pages of open books and papers scattered around. A vintage key is also visible.

Rooted Tears is seed paper created in memory of loved ones—offering grief back to God in a way that is both honest and sacred. Scripture often returns to gardens as holy places: where God forms, walks with His people, and brings life out of what feels barren.

To plant is to participate in something deeply symbolic—placing sorrow into the ground and entrusting it to the same God who makes dead places bloom. It echoes the truth that a seed must fall into the earth before it bears fruit.

In the quiet of the garden, mourning is not dismissed but held, and even tears become part of what is sown: “Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy” (Psalm 126:5).
