Messages From The Dead - #120

When Real Estate agents ask for the most important feature in a new home, my answer is trees. Seven years ago, a picture similar to the one you see above, was part of a real estate ad for the house where we now live.

As you can imagine, the brown drooping dead leaves weren't front and center in the photo that sold us the house.  The last several days I have been aware of these brown drooping dead leaves. Today I could no longer avoid them.

Seven years ago, this less than perfect view would have engendered feelings of distaste. These ugly dead things would have ruined my perfect view.

Now, these less than conventionally beautiful leaves, present to me evidence that life and death are always with us.  


There are many messages from the dead leaves that exploring the mystery will explore. Tell me what you have become aware of by looking at the above picture. 

Thanks for exploring the mystery - Nicky Mendenhall

  1. With each disaster, critical incident and death, it reminds me of how short life can be and I have an urgency to make the most of my time on earth.
