Excerpt -The Heart of Understanding




"I asked the leaf whether it was scared because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling.  The leaf told me, "No. During the whole spring and summer I was alive.  I worked hard and helped nourish the tree and much of me is in the tree.  Please do not say that I am just this form, because the form of the leaf is only a tiny part of me, I am the whole tree and when I go back to the soil, I will  continue to nourish the tree.  That is why I do not worry.  As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her "I will see you again very soon".....

We truly have so much to learn from the leaf, It gave off itself  and got joy from the sharing and knew that nothing can be born and nothing can die but the circle of life continues and lives on forever.
