New Life

A leaf drifts through the water, but what kind of water? If the water was a stream in the midst of the mountains Then you would say the leaf has fallen from the tree but is still in pure waters. But if that leaf was still dangling from the great tree Then it would still be connected to its roots Therefore living through the tree and seed would fall from the leaf Sprouting new life growing to it's full potential. But what if the leaf was floating through the grimy city gutter? What water are you in?
