Just green leaves

These are "just" leaves.

Green like everything else around them.

Boring in their commonness.

Not worth a second look.

But here's the thing: who gets to decide when something is "just" anything?

Who's to say a different angle or slightly more or less light or shadow wouldn't somehow render these "just" leaves somehow more worthy of our attention?

Why wouldn't we make the effort to find that different angle, or light, or shadow?

Maybe these aren't remotely "just" at all.

And maybe this isn't just about a bunch of leaves floating softly in the sun.
