A leaf, caught by the tail on a spider’s web. Swinging and twisting in the breeze – aching to be free. One quick swoop of a hand, so easy for me. Feeling the crinkly scratch against my palm I took it across the road. I released it into a group of its brothers. I watched it flutter on – I imagined gleefully. Smiling, I sent the thought that it would be remembered. That it would be immortalised across the world. Spread the word – one more is free, and we are all increased by this being so.
You are filled with goodness today!

Thanks, Victoria, that’s just what I was going for. This one is a true story – I saw the leaf in the breeze and I freed him up just so. It felt good, for some reason and so I stopped on the next corner and typed it up. π

Aww, that’s so sweet. Kinda makes me feel bad for loving the crunch of dried up leaves under my feet… π¬

Nah, nah, nah – that’s them fulfilling their purpose in life – to get mashed up into itsy-bitsy little pieces so that they can make it into compost-form! π It’s all good, Victoria.

I love the swooshing noise as I kick my way through the drifts of leaves by the side of the road. Nothing beats autumn for good leaf noise. π

Of course, I made up the idea that the leaves were brothers. Perhaps I should have turned them upside-down to check. They might have been sisters!! π
