discarded beauty...

...on the forest floor

done with - fallen off... left to fade out...

it is quietly elegant though - as it lies there - waiting for the earth to slowly accept it back... it gave what it was purposed for - is not shriveled in the giving up - there is a gentle knowing in its carriage...

it gives me pause... and makes me think of how i'd like to approach each day - knowing i've given my all - given what i was purposed to do - can have satisfaction in the knowing - for after all is said and done, that is what leads to...

a

happy day.....
