Letting Go

Once I saw an Aspen wood
Like a cloud of flaming gold
Holding in a light embrace
All the leaves that it could hold
When a sudden gust of wind
Scarcely stronger than a breeze
Swept across the valley's floor
Rustling through the yellow trees
And the branches, letting go
Loveliness they held so lightly
Gave their treasures to the air
Where they whirled and glittered brightly
Hung above the mountain breast
Lifted...fluttered...came to rest
Calm and white the Aspen's stood
Brave and lovely Aspen wood!

Long I stood and watched the trees
Wishing I were wise as these
For the hardest thing to know
Is the art and grace of let
                                       t
                                         i
                                           n
                                             g

                                               go.

All is 'Well', 'Well' is all,
Welcome to the words of Fall.
Read what Silken has to tell
And the wellness wisdom of Don Ardell.
"Who's to Blame" why we're not slim?
Another way to "Learn to Swim"?
Pedometers, poetry, quotes and fun,
'Well' said, 'Well' read, 'Well' met, 'Well' done.

There's so much more that can't be squeezed into 8 rhyming lines. It's up to you to read and think and take the time to follow the links. The 'Grins' and graphics, as usual, are sublime.

Lastly, a tip of the hat to Christopher Reeve, who died on October 11th. When asked whether he was resentful about his massive disability, he said, "No, life has been good to me in so many ways." He said the only time resentment clouded his thinking was when he saw fully functioning, able bodied people neglect their gifts and waste their bodies and lives :: Martin Collis
