Linda Bloom, L.C.S.W., and Charlie Bloom, M.S.W. :
Linda: I live in Northern California where we can frequently see the ancient redwood and Sequoias, which are the largest and tallest trees in the world. They grow to a height of more than 250 feet tall and up to 30 feet in diameter. As tall as they are, you would probably expect them to have a deep root system, but they don t. Surprisingly they have a shallow root system. Nevertheless, they cannot be blown over by the strongest wind.

In the wildest of storms, these trees hold each other up.

Furthermore, there is no reason why we wouldn’t expect new and different ethnicities to emerge in the future.
