"No two trees - no two leaves - are ever exactly alike. No plant - no flower - ever perfectly symmetrical. Repetition, yet with a slight difference. Variety, yet with conformity. This is how we expect it. This is how we love it. This is beauty." ~ C.R.Milne #nature #autumn #trees

I had a few tears watching this.
I used to be an addict. Nearly took my life.
This should be mandatory watching in every school.

“Years do odd things to identity.” A poem by Ursula K. Le Guin.
ALT Leaves BY URSULA K. LE GUIN Years do odd things to identity. What does it mean to say I am that child in the photograph at Kishamish in 1935? Might as well say I am the shadow of a leaf of the acacia tree felled seventy years ago moving on the page the child reads. Might as well say I am the words she read or the words I wrote in other years, flicker of shade and sunlight as the wind moves through the leaves.

"Hay una especie de tristeza que surge cuando se sabe demasiado, cuando se ve el mundo como realmente es. Es la tristeza de comprender que la vida no es una gran aventura, sino una serie de pequeños e insignificantes momentos, que el amor no es un cuento de hadas, sino una emoción frágil y fugaz, que la felicidad no es un estado permanente, sino un raro y fugaz atisbo de algo a lo que nunca podremos aferrarnos. Y en esa comprensión hay una profunda soledad".
Virginia Woolf

Of course, we are not losing this war. But we are losing people. Because of the Russian attacks, we're losing people and time. It's such a pity, because our children don't have a real life and childhood. Not only children, but all people. That's why we need to end this war as quickly as possible. I hope that our partners, Americans and Europeans, will help us. God bless, our strong soldiers stay strong on the battlefield. It helps me stay strong during any kind of negotiations.

Lo más amable que hace la literatura es recordarte que tus pequeños sentimientos peculiares siempre han existido. Alguien, en algún siglo, se sintió igualmente confundido por el amor, aburrido por la sociedad, cansado de actuar y hambriento de significado.

Hazel nuts were an important part of the diet of the ancient Irish and were quite possibly amongst the first things eaten by our ancestors when they arrived on these shores. And like other Autumn foods, such as the apple, they became a special part of Autumn and Samhain celebrations 🌰🎃
Gathered around a fire unmarried folk would give each of the nuts that they had collected the name of a potential lover and cast them into the flames.
The first nut to crack, or that which cracked the loudest, would reveal the name of their future love 🔥🍂

JD Vance says Ukraine shouldn't be bombing Russian diesel plants, but I'm pretty sure it's Russia who shouldn't be killing Ukrainian children.
