AUTUMN LEAVES 🍂

with beautiful and
joyous colors
the leaves
bid farewell
to the trees
ushering in
their own demise
not with sadness
but with their bright and
vibrant colors

the leaves are preparing to fall
through the air
onto the ground
into the earth
but they aren’t anxious
they show no grief
in letting go
instead
they are celebrating life
they are celebrating this moment
they are dancing
with their bright colors
leaving no one indifferent

we have to admit:
there is so much beauty
in the autumn leaves
they know
how let go
they konow how to go
with ease
with color
and joy
celebrating and jubilating
their own demise

• In autumn, nature begins its mesmerizing transformation. The leaves, once lush and green, start to shift into a palette of beautiful, joyous colors. With vibrant hues of gold, crimson, and amber, the leaves bid farewell to the trees. This transition, though signaling their demise, carries not a trace of sadness. Instead, they embrace this inevitable change with a sense of celebration, glowing brighter than ever as they prepare to fall.

• Their journey toward the earth is a graceful release, free of attachment or sorrow. Rather than fading quietly, they burn brilliantly. In their dance through the cool autumn breeze, they invite us to witness the beauty in life's fleeting moments.

• The leaves act of surrender, done with grace and splendor, reminds us that letting go can be a powerful and beautiful. Their quiet wisdom speaks to us of the beauty in accepting change with a spirit of celebration rather than fear.

Perhaps we too can learn to let go with the same grace. Let us, like the autumn leaves, embrace change with open hearts and vibrant colors, dancing through our own seasons of transformation.

Love 🍁
Rose
