Each Leaf

Here's the thing about Autumn in New England.

I can never decide whether the swoon worthy landscapes

are more 

or less

awe inspiring than the transformation

and detail

I see in each individual leaf.

I could examine the changing leaves up close all day every day.

And never find two that are exactly alike.

Or that change in exactly the same way.

It's fascinating!

One individual miracle at a time.

Aristotle might have said that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

And I get that - in foliage and in life.

But hey,

let's not ever forget that each part is an amazing miracle

in and of itself.

I need to remember that about me.

Each autumn leaf is a soul soothing reminder

of how much magic there is in each of us!
