As I approach it on this autumn afternoon, I notice a single leaf stuck in between the boards. Despite the steady breeze whispering through the treeline, the leaf refuses to budge.
It isn’t much of a leaf. No spectacular colours or textures to speak of. But it stops me all the same. So before long I find myself sitting down on the dirty planks to get a closer look before this leaf, one among the countless, disappears forever.
I take a bunch of low-angled pictures, hoping against hope that they’ll be sharp enough. My once-black jeans now wear enough dirt to make them more grey-ish, but I figure it’s worth it if I can bring something worthwhile home. It’s a quiet argument I’ve had with myself so many times before.
Soon enough I’m back on my way, wondering about the single leaf that the universe left in my path. Sometimes we just have to stop what we’re doing and take a closer look.
