Life is too short

 It's December now.

Autumn is peaking now. As I can see around, the leaves are leaving the trees. Now I understand why they are called 'leaves', because they got to 'leave', in the end, always. I see how much deep and vital connection the leaves had with the tree, still a time comes and they leave.

Leaving is hard for the leaves. Its like an end to its association with trees. I see they are leaving with a sense of fulfillment, a sense of happiness, a sense of success in disguise. They are leaving because their work is done now. Its time for them to depart, to make space for someone new.

Leaving is not easy. They are dying now, quite literally. When they leave, they dissociate themselves from the tree. First their body becomes paled, then it starts drying. I can see them in utmost pain. Meanwhile its bonding gets loosened from the tree. Ultimately they fall on the ground. Completely out of life, dry like desert sand, paper-thin and in pieces. At the brink of shattering, I see them lying down there.

But I am seeing them happy... still. They are proud and satisfied. They played their part well for the tree.. They are happy leaving in interest of tree. They understand the nature and the essentiality of 'end'. What more could they do for the tree. It'd be selfish and senseless too if the leaves wish for a long companionship of the tree. They never do that. 

I see the true love there in the leaves. A love that brings no terms, no obligations but only pure good intentions and efforts to help the tree blossom and grow at its best. Not only this but knowing the art of letting go is part of the love. When Its time, they know to let go, Silently, Happily and with gratitude.

Towards a new path, a new journey, into the muds, streams, garbage and decomposing in the ground.

I wonder, I learn, from the leaves, the spirit of loving and caring. As they pass into end of the cycle,  they show no force, no pressure, no excuses. Their sense of fulfillment is the closure for them.

They leave with the knowledge of having done their best, learning what life was teaching them and with a very very super great amount of love in their heart, they are biddin adieu forever.

I am standing here, all alone, overpowered by the love, with acceptance.

We should learn from the leaves, to let go of our hurts and pains, negativities, guilts and learn to forgive ourselves and others. Always keep doing our best. Keep ourselves full of love, positivity and energy. Never losing the self and keep spreading smiles only.

Life is too short... 😋
