Beckoning of Japanese Maple.

Japanese Maple, the autumn flower brings ecstasy to the soul.
Such flower beds on the land that the change of seasons bring, reinforces the belief in the law of change. Although, each change invites resistance initially, but gradual acceptance ensures the flow of immense joy.
Like the seasons, we are all bound to invite change as we sail through the boat of life in this never ending journey of the sea.
We meet the Maple during autumn alone when it blooms to her full strength. But this bloom is not permanent. With the descending of winter, the maple too goes dry and sheds her beauty. This doesn't mean that it is the end of her story, but the emergence of moment when it would begin her new journey to bloom in the ‘new Autumn’ with the ‘new trees’ who have joined her in this season.
But this bond is not permanent, even the Maple understands it, hence it doesn't fall in the trap of nature by succumbing to the temporary forces of affection or bitterness.
The fall of Maple leaf is celebrated and appreciated. Her entanglement with the wind during the flow is admired by the people. Also, her death due to the fall is celebrated by the people clamouring on the ground. Maple's beauty erodes gradually after the fall. The people who admired her when she was dancing with the winds touching her branches, stops the admiration. But there is no escape to the fall, it has to happen at a preset time and conditions.
The performers change, the audience change, even the art changes, but the stage remains permanent.
