When a Leaf Leaves

leafy

Barry? Do you know what your purpose is in life?
Well, Floyd. I thought I was supposed to hang here and be green. You know…. Photosynthesize…. and all that. Now…. obviously… I’m not so sure about any of it.
Yeah Barry… I totally get it. With the change in color and everything.
Honest to goodness Floyd. I mean…. look how dry my skin is getting too. And crumbly.
Yeah. Me too Barry……
… …. ……
…..Hey Barry? So what do you think it is now.
What?
Your purpose.
Oh. Floyd. I’ll tell you. I’ve been hanging on to this limb for so long now… maybe my purpose it to let go. Just let go… and let the autumn breezes carry me… floating and flying on the wind…. to my next place. My next new purpose.
Dang Barry. That’s beautiful. But I’ll miss you man.   

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them. – Dalai Lama
