Leaves

Hurrying to jump into the car and get out of the rain, I glanced downward as I hastily stepped from sidewalk into the street. My subconscious mind registered several things simultaneously: safety, no cars, leaves, color, beauty, clogged drain, soon, hurry, pattern, maple, autumn, red, picture and probably several other things I don't recall now. My point is simply this - in our haste going about our daily lives... what do we simply walk over, under or around without noticing?
There is so much we all (me included) miss as we pass through our days. What have you stepped over, under or around recently? -Ed
