Drift Away

Have you ever wondered about the distance traveled by a floating leaf? If all flowing bodies of water are connected to one another and all water leads to the sea, then just think of the things that can be seen by an ordinary leaf growing in any given neighborhood. Those, of course, that fall to the ground will soon suffer the end of life in a trash bag or fire, but the lucky ones who live life near the open waters will fall from grace into the pool of wonders... from limb to water, from lake to stream, from stream to river and from river to the sea. I suppose, if I had to come back and live as something in a 2nd life, a leaf housed along the water would be a great thing to be.

Things to ponder...
