It’s odd.
We almost always shudder and feel an emptiness when witnessing death, at least a sadness.
yet, when the leaves fall, i don’t feel fear but only admire it, enjoy it, and just gaze in wonder.
i guess death has another side to it …..

I loved your writing—it brought back happy memories of sitting in an Autumn forest when I lived on the east coast. Thanks, April.

I love the image Tanya describes of all the senior “8 year olds” chasing after the leaves! We’re never too old to play outdoors!

Thank you! I, too, have been enjoying the leaves falling. I took a tour to Richmond to see some trees pictured in Remarkable Trees of Virginia and one was dropping leaves at a fast pace. There we were, a group whose ages ranged from mid 50’s to mid 80’s, running around trying to catch leaves in their descent! We all felt about 8 years old!

As usual, your writing make me feel as if I am there. I am calmed and contented.
