I saw a leaf fall to the earth this morning. It prompted my imagination. What made it let go? Weary perhaps of the daily grind of making oxygen; the exposure to the elements harsh; or born weaker than most and mid-summer just lost its grip. Its passing was noticed by me and now I am writing its eulogy. I do not know this single leaf, its history is a mystery, its future is the same. Did it live a good, satisfying life and find meaning in its existence? I do not know. But I do know of one thing it did, a wonderful thing, a purpose of the highest order; it made me imagine. Imagination is one of the greatest gifts of kindness ever conceived. God is good. God is great. Let us thank Him…for a falling leaf.
