The exceptionally beautiful tree we met this morning also shed gorgeous leaves.
We bowed to the tie dye combo of emerald green, glorious gold, fiery copper and chrome yellow as we bent low to pick one leaf after another.
More leaves fell as the breeze rose, as if the tree was shedding her grace on us.
I told my brother that I would make a mandala out of these leaves that have been bathed by moonlight for the New Moon tonight.
He placed the 12 leaves in the car boot so they wouldn’t get crushed.
May the New Moon bless all that she touches even if they have to fall to the ground one day. And may all sentient beings be endowed with Grace to turn all life lessons into gold. 🙏
