Autumn always proves to grant eclectic gifts of magic. Journeys of pure wonder like no other season gives me. I discovered this leafy oak and his welcoming friend. A scene of amazing energy I want to share. Cool breezes danced with the sun as I stopped here.

My leafy oak pal gave me this perfect fall interlude of peace, asking for nothing in return. He proved to be quite a mystical force as well. He shared how difficult it was leaving his loving tree, but he had no choice. The time had arrived to move forward on his way. He joyfully accepted my invitation to take him home. Before leaving, he wished to tell me about the grave he landed on during his flight.

I eagerly listened as he began to tell me about Josh, a 20 year old college student, tragically ripped away from his dreams due to the insane act of a crazed human. Tears began to form on my leafy pal. My own eyes soon became misty too.
Just then, I was shocked as the memorial monument to Josh came to life wanting to tell of his sad tale, hoping that his family and friends were able to move on after his horrific fate. Unfortunately, no one believed in his spirited messages he left behind. He wished they knew of the truth behind the dark word of death.

As evening too quickly approached, he told me that our time was at its end. I promised Josh that he will never be forgotten. As he departed, he told me that we would meet again at a mysterious time and place...
