Please De-Leaf Me

Autumn .... tis the season of leaves and fall ....

Let the leaves fall ... fall around you ...
Gathering at your feet ... forming piles of brilliant colors ...
Falling down on them ... laughing, playing ...
Picking them up ... throwing them to the sky ...
Watching them fall into a new creation ... one with a new awareness ...
Only to be picked up, danced upon and thrown to the sky ... time and time again.

Relating ... being able to communicate and share oneself with others, it helps shake the leaves off of myself and get to the root of my beliefs.

I would not uncover or simply have my leaves fall off any other way. Honest, true relating is like shaking the tree ... the leaves fall off more quickly, leaving a smooth bareness underneath.

To relate with the focus of consciousness ...
To relate so one can see and express themselves deeply ...
To relate so one can understand and experience others with curiosity ...

Every interaction becomes a gift ... a gift of discovery, awareness, presence ... a creative process ... an ever changing pile of leaves, to be dumped, thrown to the sky, played with and danced upon ...

Always leafing .... something fresh and new in its place.

Relating ... please de-leaf me.
