Did you ever stop to think about the language of a leaf? It has stages that can reflect the condition of our heart. Our hearts are birthed pure and green ready to bask in the sunshine of life. We experience the storms of life when our heart seems a little lost and when pain runs deep through our veins and our spirit has become downtrodden. There are those rainy moments full of tears when our heart is either saddened or filled with joy. We journey through those winds of change and growth as we age and experience the many facets life has for us, then death as the life and final season slowly comes to a close. Sometimes we forget to acknowledge the beauty of life we have been graced with. One huge gash with an ax into the trunk of a tree and it can launch that tree into a huge season of growth bearing a fruitful new beginning. May we take the gashes life throws at us and allow it to make us better than the season before. May we also realize the differences we all carry that can bring beauty into the lives of others.
