The Way of the Leaf


To live as does the leaf... to grow in the appointed place caressed by breezes bathed by rain warmed by sun the Way of the Leaf is peace.... In an age yet to come an age long past when men and women live by the Way the bravest of all who will not harm who will not raise hand who hold to the way and in that time a circle fifty thousand strong surround a madman arms linked singing reminding him of the great man he once was and could be again if he returned to the way shielding the city's escape with their bodies standing before the fire singing fifty thousand leaves sighing in the breeze and falling unprotesting before the hurricane that the city the Way the people escape and live. To live as the leaf falling from the branch at the appointed time unprotesting floating to the ground slowly gently gracefully as the leaf lives so does it die enriching life returning to the earth the Way of the Leaf is Peace.
