Treat your thoughts like leaves

Treat your thoughts like leaves
floating along a gentle brook—
you may watch them pass;
and, on occasion,
lift one out of the flowing stream
to study it intently,
but always put it back again.

Beautiful words. Like our elders, leaves display their greatest beauty and wisdom in their death. I suppose that’s why I’ve always preferred fall over spring.

Chris…nicely put. And honoring of the beauty of the aging process so often overlooked by our modern love of youth.
