{Change…}

Thanks to Razmataz’s Red Challenge for the inspiration of my post!

Looking up into the maple tree, I’m struck by these two leaves, side by side.

One green ~ hanging on to summer hues.

One red ~ proud to have changed to autumn’s splendor.

Both beautiful in their own way.

People are like leaves.

Which are you? 

Hanging on to yesterday’s hues or…

 Reaching for tomorrow’s changes?

 “The summer fades and passes and October comes.

We’ll smell smoke then,

and feel an unexpected sharpness,

a thrill of nervousness,

swift elation,

a sense of sadness and departure.”

~Thomas Wolfe
