I am just trying to survive in this world - sometimes feeling like a gypsy in the twilight zone...

Autumn leaves remind me of a butterfly… Each and every one of them have their own story, just like every butterfly has it’s own cocoon…The tree leaves were supporting this cocoon, knowing that one day amazing beauty, Nature’s treasure will be born out of this ugly housing…And they were patiently waiting: singing a lullaby; shielding it from the rain and from the sun; providing it shelter and care…And then, one summer day, the butterfly was born…And off it went – to discover the World, to battle with the Wind on its own, while grasping the beauty of Nature…And all that lonesome leaves can do – is watch it fly away and hope that one day they can fly as well. And so, one autumn day they gather all of their courage and separate from the caring parent. The dream comes true – autumn leaves, as beautiful and colorful as butterflies, fly away to see the World. But we all know how this dream will end – a pretty autumn leaf will be supported by the wind for a while, trying to learn all the right moves and than inevitably it will fall on the cold ground, realizing that its breathtaking experience is somehow over. But how magnificent those moments were – worth living for, worth dying for…
