I AM not limited by this form...

"I asked the leaf whether it was frightened because 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 to help nourish the tree,

and now much of me is in the tree.

I am not limited by this form. I am also the whole tree,

so when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree.

So I don't worry at all.

As I leave this branch and float to the ground,

I will wave to the tree and tell her,

I will see you again very soon.’ "
