leaves

I was thinking about the leaves on a tree

How they change colors and then fall to the ground

How a tree loses its leaves

But not really

It’s simply a changing of the season

I had not even finished processing my last job loss when…

I lost a job… again

But not really

It’s a changing of seasons

The tree doesn’t lose when the leaves blow away

It’s a time of growth

Where roots grow deeper and stronger

Where preparation is made for the next bloom

Some losses aren’t losses at all

They’re simply change

The beauty of seasons
