Falling Leaves Tattoo Meaning
Release, letting go, seasons, and shedding the old for renewal.
Falling Leaves are the season's wise release — the autumn leaves loosed from the branch to drift down, the tree letting go of what it no longer needs, the turning of the year that sheds the old to prepare for renewal. To carry the Falling Leaves is to carry release, letting go, seasons, and shedding the old for renewal — the leaves released in their time, the cycle of the turning year, the wise letting-go that clears the way for what will come again.
Falling Leaves are the great sign of autumn — the turning of the seasons, the passing of the year from summer's fullness toward winter's rest. When the leaves turn color and fall, we know the season has turned: the warm time is ending, the year is moving on, the cycle is carrying us toward winter. The falling leaves mark time's passage as nothing else does, the visible turning of the great wheel of the seasons.
This makes falling leaves the emblem of the turning seasons and the passage of time. It carries the meaning of time's movement and the cycle of the year: the autumn of things, the turning toward a later season, the passage from one time of life to another. As the leaves fall, we feel the year turning and time moving on; the falling leaves are the very image of the seasons changing and life moving through its cycle. To carry the falling leaves is to carry this — the turning of the seasons, the autumn passage, the visible movement of time. The falling leaves are the turning of the seasons — the sign of autumn and the passage of the turning year. The universal falling leaves are the turning of the seasons — the great sign of autumn, the turning of the seasons, the passing of the year from summer's fullness toward winter's rest; when the leaves turn color and fall we know the season has turned (the warm time ending, the year moving on, the cycle carrying us toward winter), the falling leaves marking time's passage as nothing else does, the visible turning of the great wheel of the seasons — the emblem of the turning seasons and the passage of time, time's movement and the cycle of the year (the autumn of things, the turning toward a later season, the passage from one time of life to another), as the leaves fall we feel the year turning and time moving on, the falling leaves the very image of the seasons changing and life moving through its cycle.
