Not long ago I appealed to the Harry Frank Guggenheim foundation for a research grant pertaining to the ideas of a world without aggression , Genocide and human rights violations………… Little things like that.

I was encourged by a polite stepping stone letter of denial due to something silly like not meeting the criteria…

Any way I wrote the following and was reminded:

From a giant towering tree above the forest canopy, affixed to the earths floating crust falls a leaf, It descends only to catch a glimpse of the passing tree line.

Coming from high above, the leaf now finds itself resting on the forrest’s floor, on its way to yet another journey od decaying towards the center of the earth……………….. My salute to an unknow’s journeys.
