I like the metaphor of trees shedding their leaves as a form of surrender. Before trees surrender their leaves, they reabsorb nutrients from the leaves and store them in their roots. Because the blossoming of new leaves and flowers in the spring requires tremendous energy. So surrendering leaves is not a failure to fight winter, but a better approach to emerge stronger in the next season of life!
As part of this journey, I am reading "The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel and How They Communicate." I've always felt a connection to trees. Now I'm realizing it's not just poetic. Makes me wish I'd paid more attention in science classes:)
