Leaves

Author's Note: This post is about how nature is full of perfect moments, but us being humans think of nothing except for what we need to do next. I find it very troubling. Even if we just take five seconds or so to appreciate nature, life would be so much more enjoyable.

As the light shines through the parting clouds it highlights the orange glow of the maple leaves as they gently drop off the tree to the ground cushioned by the cutting fall breeze as winter comes to turn orange, white. We must savor what is left here. What is here now. We must pass this picture of perfection to those near and around us. Tell all, show all what is needed in life for it to be worth living and complete. We are called by an unknown force to this one spot. This one moment. It must show us that the earth our home, the one which we are destroying, taking it past its prime, has promise. Once again we gather together in honor of the earth and its natural cycles. Realizing how insignificant we really are. We are but a speck of dust floating around in this never ending region of hope we call the universe.
