Day 51 - Connections



January 29, 2015


(This is part of a 365 project during my 70th year where I write and illustrate a blog on each day's gift.)


Once it fluttered
in gentle winds
green
whole and alive
connected to a system
rooted

Today it litters the
park path
brown
hunger-holes survive
connected by lacework
fragile

Now even after loss
it defies oblivion
transparent
with delicate beauty
connected to contradictions

The spaces and silences become the strength that connects.

Today’s gift is a fragile, lacy leaf.
