Letting Go

Its autumn a season of change. Except for this autumn one courageous Leaf refuses to fall.Why not? asked the Tree.I love the feeling of the suns warm touch during the summer the taste of sweet dew in the morning and a gentle breeze in the spring. Everyone is afraid of facing the unknown the Tree said. Its not fair said the Leaf. You enjoy hundreds of seasons where I only see three.The Tree shrugged his branches and said It doesnt matter how many seasons we have three or hundreds--we will always long for more.T. C. Bartletts story about the cycle of life touches deep inside us all. And for one particular leaf it is a journey that must be taken.
