I really enjoyed coming back and back again to this haiku:
the importance
of small details
Queen Anne’s lace
—OLIVIER SCHOPFER
.
Fascinating to read up about Queen Anne's lace and others belonging to the group! Amongst many things:
""Sensitized photosensitive persons may get an exact reproduction of the leaf on the skin by placing the leaf on the skin for awhile, followed by exposure to sunshine."
"Daucus carota". Wikipedia
That reminds me that even just the shadows of leaves and flowers against a wall have their own vitality. Sometimes we can see the importance of other small things, while letting go, for a moment, those other small things that we sadly magnify and intensify to no good effect on the richness of this fleeting life.

__ Such importance in… small details. Grand, Olivier_! _m
Forests count on each leaf, and we all… are that leaf. As someone once wrote:
__ Each forest
full of trees;
__ each tree
full of branches;
__ each branch,
full of leaves.

Thank you, Alan. Always a pleasure to read your words! I love to watch shadows of leaves gently moving on a bare wall ;-)
