How are ya? Great new site, look forward to getting involved when I get home.
Don't think I will be back at SF full time. I'm pretty sure I have a job in Otago managing the Centre for a Sustainable Otago with Otago Polytech, just discussing $ at this point. Looks like I will continue doing some work with her though.
Where you at? WHat you up to? Hope you enjoyed the long summer. So good to have some sun here in Scandinavia!!
take care, home in Oct.

About Me:

Spring came. Freddie, the leaf, was born on a branch of a tall tree. Hundreds of leaves were born on the tree. They were all friends. Together they danced in the breeze and played in the sun.

Daniel was the largest leaf and Freddie's best friend. He knew many things. He explained that they were part of a tree in a park. He also explained about the birds, the sun and the moon.

Freddie loved being a leaf. Summer was especially nice. Many people came to the park.

'Let's get together and give them some shade,' said Daniel. 'Giving shade is part of our purpose in life. Making people happy is a good reason for living.'

Old people sat under the tree and talked of old times. Children ran around and laughed. It was fun to watch those children.

Summer passed and fall came. Soon the leaves changed their colours. Some turned red and others turned yellow. Freddie turned purple. They were all very beautiful.

One day a strange thing happened. Some of the leaves were blown off by a strong cold wind. The leaves became frightened.

'What's happening?' they said.
'It's time for the leaves to change their home,' Daniel said. 'Some people call it dying'.
'Will we all die?' Freddie asked.
'Yes,' Daniel answered. 'Everything dies'.
'I won't die!' said Freddie.

But his friends started to fall one after another. Soon the tree was almost bare.

'I'm afraid of dying,' Freddie told Daniel.
'We're all afraid of things we don't know,' Daniel said. 'But you were not afraid when spring became summer, or when summer became fall. Changes are natural.'
'Will we return in spring?' Freddie asked?
'I don't know, but life will. Life lasts forever and we're part of it,' answered Daniel.
'We only fall and die. Why are we here?' Freddie asked again.
Daniel said, 'For the friends, the sun and the shade. Remember the breeze, the people and the colours in fall. Isn't that enough?'

That afternoon, Daniel fell with a smile. Freddie was the only leaf left on his branch.

The first snow fell the next morning. The wind came and took Freddie from his branch. It did not hurt at all. As he fell, he saw the whole tree for the first time. He remembered Daniel's words, 'Life lasts forever'. Freddie landed on the soft snow. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.

He did not know this. But, in the tree and the ground, there were already plans for new leaves in spring.
