leaves on leaves

Leaves holding leaves in the rain.

I've been noticing how leaves cushion the landing of other falling leaves. They might not have come from the same root. The provision of this buffer, before falling leaves return to the earth, strikes me as a gentle act of care. There's a lot that we can learn from these leaves, and I hope to have made a gesture of care by beginning to notice this.
