The beech tree, which
is not native to North America, does not drop its leaves in the fall. The brittle
brown leaves cling tenaciously to the branches throughout winter,
rustling in the slightest breeze. February’s late afternoon sunlight
metamorphoses the quivering dry leaves to flickering flames but does not
melt their covering of snow, just as age does not diminish the warmth
and depth of the human spirit. Private Collection
