--"A group of tourists sits in a bus that is passing throught gorgeously beautiful country; lakes and mountains and green fields and rivers. But the shades of the bus are pulled down. They do not have the slightest idea of what lies beyond the windows of the bus. And all the time of their journey is spent in squabbling over who will have the seat of honor in the bus, who will be applauded, who will be well considered. And so they remain till the journey's end."--

I'm just a little leaf...
How I wish I could be like a leaf on the river, floating, twirling down the stream. Carefree and careless I would be if I were that little leaf. There's no need to speed or to slowdown, there just isn't a need. I would just gently float down and watch the world go by. I would see the cows drinking, the people laughing and crying but I wouldn't care, I would just keep on floating until I reached the great sea.
