Leaf Observation
樹葉觀察
Look at a leaf and watch it go from green to brown and fall to the ground. What can we see? Is it death and the end? Is it a prelude to a cold winter? No. What we can see is the cycle of life.
當我們看著一片葉子，從綠色變成棕色，最後落在土裏。我們看到的是什麽？是死亡和結束嗎？是寒冷冬天的前奏嗎？都不是。我們看到的是生命的循環。
The life that springs from dead leaves
枯葉中迸發的新生命
A brown dead leaf may look like an ending. However, the food it feeds the environment may be much broader than in its younger, greener period.
一片棕色的枯葉，看起來就像宣告生命的結束。然而，它為環境提供的食物比它年輕綠色的時期更多。
Death is part of nature world but not the end
死亡是大自然的一部分，但不是結局
Dead leaves provide a primary food base for life, from fungi and bacteria, and the insects that chew on them, down to the birds and fish that eat those insects. The dead leaves that seem to come to an end are the beginning of the food chain. Actually, dead leaves brew and support lives.
枯葉為生命提供了主要的食物基礎，從真菌和細菌，到嚼食它們的昆蟲，再到以這些昆蟲爲食的鳥類和魚類。看似即將結束的枯葉是食物鏈的起點。實際上，枯葉釀造并支持新的生命。
