It’s a nasty place, this forest floor, where life emerges, and ends, in a seemingly endless cycle that leaves little room for the weak.
Maybe it’ll thrive for a while. Or maybe it’ll shrivel into nothing. Maybe it’ll be remembered. Or not.
I suppose the template for all life is playing out by my feet on this chilly October morning in the nearby woods, lessons for the so-called real world being written in miniature for anyone willing to go for a walk and look down.
I’m alone in this quiet place, and I’m guessing most folks who come here aren’t looking for lessons from the forgettable green leaves fighting for life in the deep blue shadows.
Soon enough the snows will come, and none of this will matter. Or so we think.
All of this matters, whatever the season.
