Have you ever watched a leaf float down a moving river so quickly you have to chase it. It glides on the surface showing exactly how fast and strong the flow is. Sometimes getting caught up on a rock or missing a channel, sticking to the bed on the edge. Sometimes it will get freed up and carry on with its journey and others it remains trapped, doomed to rot away with no one to see it anymore; no one to chase the dream alongside. Instead, they give up and move on without it. Leaving behind what was once something that seemed so alive and so fun. There is a strange meaninglessness to it.

  1. I too have thought of this subject. I once was in the mountains and saw a beautiful flower all alone. I knew I would be the only person to see the flower. It seemed a waste. So I took a picture of the flower to give it meaning and importance. I suppose the fact we have recognized this could mean we have given these things a meaning. Now I wonder how many other people have noticed the unmentioned?

      I guess that is the wonder in life. What you say explains for me the strangeness of it. It seems meaningless in one sense and in the other, to me or any of us observers our simple noticing give it meaning, even if only for the moment.
