The Lesson of the Leaves

Are we not like the leaves?
While living, the leaf is part of the tree

Becoming there
Being created, then growing
Becoming stronger, greener

Then having lived, gives up its life with the tree
Going individually to join others to nurture life.
Eventually it will no longer be a leaf

But will continue as part of God’s plan.
