Yes, we all try to lead glamorously simple lives I think and we have to be ready to appreciate life and love and beauty every second we breathe, and we have to take it as it comes and let it go when it's gone. For instance, this morning, walking with Mlle. Coco, hoppity hop, skipping through the sidewalk lawns in incredibly clear and bracing weather I spied a little circular leaf, very delicate, an amazing thing, glamorous in its extravagant circularity, outrageously, beautifully curliqued. It looked like this, exactly like this:

I picked it up. Held it carefully. I looked at this astounding thing of nature. So fragile. I coveted it. I would take it back to the house, enshrine it somehow, save it, show it, glue it in a brilliant, but simple decoupage. Almost immediatly the Coconut was called by Nature, so I set the curly leaf gently aside to take care of her business, set the leaf aside gently, carefully on a higher bank of grass, then, her business bagged, I returned with my camphone ready...but it was gone! The leaf was gone! Blown away! Gone with the wind! I looked awhile, but realized I'd never see it again, so I sighed and laughed and walked on with the dog. Sic transit gloria mundi!
