As Freddie experiences the changing seasons along with his companion leaves, he learns about the delicate balance between life and death...
"Freddie landed on the soft snow. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
In the tree and the ground, there were already plans for new leaves in spring."

The ending is awesome!
ReplyDeleteA great way of looking at things if you can maintain it. Always look for the upsides, even in the face of the worst times. In the end, your body and soul will be better for it. There will be a lot less stress.
ReplyDeleteHowever, as usual, it’s easier said than done.
Wow, that ending statement hit different.
ReplyDeleteIt's what Chance the Gardener said in "Being There": new growth in the spring. Freddie's challenge (and ours of course) is to grasp the continuity between fall and spring. We DO survive every moment, as John Updike said (in one form or another, atomically speaking) except the last one. The very last one, which hasn't happened yet.
