private things

i feel as though i just witnessed a very private moment. i was out walking in the cool autumn breeze in the neighborhood behind my house and i came across a tree that was speckled red,orange,yellow,green in the process of changing and dying or going dormant. the sun was hitting this particular tree from directly above so i stopped beneath and watched as the breeze blew the leaves down. fluttering and turning, they made their way down as i watched and suddenly in the whisper of the breeze through the trees, i realized that i was witnessing this particular trees shedding process and that in a way this was a very private thing. all are able to experience this same transformation but maybe they don't and i did and i felt awed. as i breathed deeply i suddenly knew that all things are connected and this tree was like myself, shedding what was old and biding it's time til' something new came along.
