The more leaves I see on my walk this time of year, the more I appreciate their rich diversity. Each December leaf is a survivor of the growing season, carrying the scars of its journey from spring through autumn. It is those very scars that give each leaf its individual beauty and spark our capacity for wonder and delight. Like the Dirt Road Pilgrim who photographs them, these leaves, too, are pilgrims across time. They are also holy relics: doorways into the sacredness at the heart of nature.
