Heroes Not Zombies

At a glance, these leaves seem all the same. They are all the same from some perspectives. They can all be classified as the same botanical life form – the same species, the same genus, the same “kingdom” of Nature even.
But slow down.
Take your time and look more carefully.
Every single leaf is unique. None of them are exactly the same colour, same shape, growing in exactly the same place, at the same time, in a position in exactly the same relationship to surrounding individual leaves.
People are like that.
Even more so, because human beings have evolved consciousness, an amazing facility which brings us another level of uniqueness altogether.
