"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

– Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit

 

In Diane’s poem she wrote about the doll she lost. Red Leaves is an attempt to return the doll to her, a recapture of innocence. All of us are red leaves loving one another into being.
