I pray to the leaves

I pray to the leaves
To teach me how to meet the fall
Without clinging to the branch.
💙
These are ear jackets - and you have to forgive me here, I still suck at selfies and the third picture, which is supposed to give you a clue about how they look when worn, is not my best ever.
I should probably buy one of these fake ear things that @sticksandstonessf uses 🤔

This morning I was looking at the fallen leaves, and the graceful dance that is their fall.
Can we learn that luminous surrender for ourselves?
I wonder what it feels like, to soften and let go. To release clutched hands and stuck rib cages, and, in a beautiful swoosh, allow life to bring us where she wants to.
.
I am not often that brave.
So I keep praying the trees and the leaves to show and teach me.
