In the progress of personality, first comes a declaration of independence, then a recognition of interdependence.

ABOUT TO FALL
A leaf and a water drop have a conversation
With both in a precarious position on the branch of a tree
Leaf – “I do not want to fall”
Raindrop – “Its our time
Gravity will return us to the earth”
Leaf – “Gravity sucks”
I just want to be green again”
Raindrop “To recycle is to be green”
Leaf – “Too profound for me!
My be-leaf is that life is too short to worry about gravity.
Please God Fly me to the moon.
I do not want to fall”

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. “
SAID THE LEAF TO THE WATER DROPLETS ..
“When I was young and full of life,
You gave me life itself and I could absorb you into my body.
We were like one.
Now I am old and dying on the sidewalk
And all I can do is enjoy your beauty on my dry body
And sadly we will have to go separate ways!
I pray that we can meet with renewed miracle of life
When we are recycled by the heavens”

Everything is a railway junction where past and future are sliding over one another, not touching.
SAID THE GHOST LEAF TO THE FULL MOON
“Now that I have fallen please explain why time moves in lunar cycles?
What makes Mr Lunar Tick?
Why do you live through these cycles and I and many others lose our lives?

THE BATTLE FOR SPACE AND TIME
Observations of a dOG wALKER
Green vs Brown vs White.
Green has had her time and is a mere beautiful memory – and she knows it as she fades into the background
Brown has not yet given up, and rises above White.
White rests in quiet confidence She knows that time and space for the near future is on her side

Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.
OPINING THE FALL OF THE PINE
Even the evergreen falls subject to time and die

“Pine trees can hold their needles for 2-5 or more years, depending on the species. Spruce trees generally hold onto their needles longer than pine trees do, approximately 5-7 years. One evergreen tree that is very noticeable as it loses its leaves in fall is Eastern White Pine.”
