Here in Texas, lantana is a heat tolerant plant that does well. Unfortunately, it has taken over several flower beds in my yard and it is time to make some changes.
There is something quite satisfying in the sound of a large root as it gives way to the shovel. As the blade goes deep, the dislodging begins. With a resounding crack, the earth moves, making way for new life. It is a surprise to discover the far reaching underground connectivity between these large plants. As old rocks and debris are removed, hope for change rises. It is hard work.

The "root crack" of no longer desired growth can also be heard during a quiet time with God or a talk with a friend. An underlying tuber of pain or unforgiveness may be discovered, and the blade of Truth must cut deep so better things can be planted.
Goodbye lantana, and goodbye bitterness. It's time for something new.
