Simply a leaf. Falling from a maple tree. Floating down in circles. Briefly flying free. Weightless and empty. Swaying in the open air. Under the spell of time. Feeling no care. Now softly landing. In the moment, an eternity. Peaceful, still and content. Grateful to be.

Sometimes calmly watching plants and their leaves sharply confronts man with his vain worries. An eternal lesson for us!

Great! That is what I was hoping for in the read. I even re-read it often to remind myself of that loose, peaceful feeling.
