To be Alive is to Change
Life and nature are always changing.
Hardly a week ago, I went for a stroll through a nearby beech plantation. It was so beautiful. Most of the leaves had opened up, but not to full size. They were that wonderful translucent lime-yellow with a hint of silver at the edges. The whole area was full of colour and movement as the wind riffled through the new leaves setting them dancing against the blue sky. The effect was scintillating. Magical.
Now the leaves are almost full size, much thicker and darker, and the atmosphere of the wood has changed again. Everything seems more solid, more ‘grown up, settling down for the serious business of flowering and making seeds.
The memory of that youthful, joyful scintillation of spring will stay with me for ever.
