Wither Not ~

"There is an eternal love between

 the water drop and the leaf.

When you look at them,

you can see that they

 both shine

 out of happiness."

And he shall be like a tree

 planted by the rivers of water,

 that brings forth his fruit in his season;

 his leaf also shall not wither;

 and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Psalm 1:3

"It was easy to love God in all that was beautiful.

Anatomy of a leaf

Silence calls to silence

exposed

death

all

part

of eternity

Age Spots ~

Weathered

detached

alone

mundane

out of touch

washed up

Ever have one of those days?
