Dear Humans,

It’s interesting to watch the trees turn colors and drop their leaves. And though the trees together look beautiful with their autumn hues, when you look at them individually, you see that there’s a lot of variation. Some trees still have most of their leaves; some of them are nearly bare.

All of the deciduous trees will eventually drop their leaves, because they have to to survive the winter and come back in the spring. But when exactly they do it depends on a lot of factors: tree species, location, weather, wind.

Humans are kind of the same way. We’re all going through processes of change that keep us alive. But there are a lot of variables in how and when. And each individual is different. So we have to learn to be patient. Just like the trees.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
