you've eloquently and evocatively captured what too few seem to notice....So many people see fallen leaves only as another chore to be dealt with; preferably by hired landscapers with their noisy and foul smelling blowers. What chance then that these things be noticed? The loss not only deprives the delight to our senses, but, at least in part signifies our increasing disconnection with the things to which all life is inextrictably bound...Speaking for myself, that frightens me.
once again...
