Fallen leaves...


Photo of mapel leaves taken by yours truly Albert in Japan 2 years ago.


Sometimes, fallen leaves tell a lot of stories that you can relate to your life...

Old leaves are...

1) ...dumped after serving the tree for some time. It doesn't matter if you contributed the most.

2) ...stepped by humans and animals.

3) ...alone and waiting for bacteria and detritivores like earthworms to feast on them.

4) ...lifeless.

5) ...hopeless.

6) ...not loved.

7) ...feeling lost. Sometimes blown by wind, other times used to wipe asses of jungle trekkers who decided to poo between bushes.

8) ...not beautiful.

9) ...a mess/burden to the community.

10) ...dead.


If you are an 'old leaf', please always remember that many other 'leaves' are like you...if they can face hardship, why not you?

Besides, we always have a family whom we can seek comfort no matter what happened...
