Changing Colors (Revised w/ comments, Reflection)

On the grandeur of these mountains, leaves of green, yellow, orange, and red defeat steep cliffs, boulders, and switchbacks, rising as a beauty of persistence and representing the diversity of life’s challenges. They cannot climb alone.

Scattered among rocks big and small, by God’s Omnipotent Hand, the seeds of these leaves are unseen. They lay beneath the eye, humbly hidden by the brilliance of something grandeous, picturesque and magnificent. The sun reflects these colors without effort in a Light of Perfection, changing them constantly but carefully over time.

Roots extend, branches unfold, and leaves grow, facilitated by Living Water. Leaves of smoothly rounded edges, leaves of prickles and thorns, tattered leaves, healthy leaves, and leaves of scent are all present. No one leaf is like the others, given careful consideration by the Creator.

Some leaves change faster leaving others behind, but each leaf changes as carefully planned, nourished by surrounding elements of Love. Some leaves turn brighter than others, but the Source of Light from which various colors emerge, looks not to compare, but sees beauty in them all. Some leaves are bigger and some remain smaller, but light penetrates all leaves regardless of size, providing The Way for true growth and progression.

Leaves that fall are used to fertilize the soil beneath their old habitat, making way for new leaves to grow. The grandeur of these mountains with leaves of green, yellow, orange, and red defeat steep cliffs, boulders, and switchbacks, with the help of leaves past, and relying on the Hope of God's Ever-giving Hand.
