Looking outside, a view of two different trees: one evergreen, the other glowing in autumn probably a Maple. Zooming into the details, I see one standing there for a long time, always green, not changing, not falling, consistently fresh, predictable.
On the other side, stunning leaves in golden yellow mixed with fiery orange, visible only during autumn for a short time, probably just about 25% of their lifespan, right before they disappear.
Which one captures your eye with its beauty? The one with the shorter lifespan. The one close to falling. The one that has been changed over the seasons.
Like a wise, mature human in their 50s , formed by spring and summer, and now glowing in their autumn. Every single leaf in this tree has a unique mix of colours, like it had a different journey.
Not screaming to be seen, but seen anyway because beauty that comes from change speaks louder than the beauty that stays the same.
Even fading leaves can outshine forever green.
