If you live in a place with fall colors, I am hereby ordering you to go outside and PICK UP SOME LEAVES. Doesn’t matter why. Doesn’t matter what you do with them. Just walk around and pick up every single damn leaf that appeals to you. Don’t worry if you already have one like that. Don’t worry if you’re not sure that’s the very best leaf. Don’t worry that you have too many. They’re leaves! They’re just out there, on the ground.
That’s the art. Picking up the leaves is the art.
