A New Leaf.


A tree at first glance appears as nothing but leaves and branches.

The leaves sway with the wind from side to side, with no support at all, but a tiny stem.
Seasons change quickly and the leaves fall one by one.
The tree will never look the same.
Next season's leaves will be completely different.

The branches sprout strongly from the trunk.
It is so easy to rely on them to swing and play.
They appear to be strong, but they break under pressure.

What is not seen unless you dig, are the roots.
They support the tree for what it is.
Remove the roots and the tree is nothing.
The roots are the core that keep the tree alive.
