The past few postings concern themselves largely with mortality and its attendant pain; this entry, a macro view of a leaf, provides not only an alternative perspective but also the possibility ironically opposite dualities . . .
One interpretation might be that of an impending fertilization: a barrier is about to be penetrated by an approaching vessel, laden with long strands of encoded material from which a new form may arise, trailing a wake in an intensely organic milieu. Or: the approaching form can be seen as the container of an aging life's remains, nearing the threshold separating one existence from the next, where rising currents point to an elevated and as-yet-undefined experience "on the other side."
