Hi Dear Ones,
Welcome back to our blog. N.E.R.D (Nothing Ever Really Dies).
I asked the leaf whether it was afraid to fall, since it was autumn and the other leaves were falling.
The leaf told me, “No. During the whole spring and summer I was very alive. I worked hard and helped nourish the tree, and much of me is in the tree.
Please do not think that I am just this form, because this leaf form is only a tiny part of me. I am the whole tree.
I know that I am already inside the tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. That is why I do not worry.
As I drop from the branch and float down to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, ‘I will see you again very soon.’”
Suddenly I had a kind of insight very much like the insight contained in the Heart Sutra. You have to see life. You shouldn’t say, life of the leaf, but life in the leaf, and life in the tree.
My life is just Life, and you can see it in me and in the tree.
I saw the leaf leave the branch and float down to the soil, dancing joyfully, because as it floated it saw itself already there in the tree.
It was so happy.
I bowed my head, and I knew that we have a lot to learn from the leaf because it was not afraid; it knew that nothing can be born and nothing can die.” – Thich Nhat Hanh (1926-2022)
