A NEW LEAF by NKB A potted plant sits on my bedroom window. It is not a particularly spectacular specimen, but it adds a human touch to a rather sterile room. The plant, called Croton Petra, has leaves about eight inches long and sits in a large clay pot. The plant is yellowish-green with small red veins, similar to falling autumn leaves. Nestled among the larger, more mature leaves, is a sign of new growth — a young leaf. Like a small, shy child peering from behind her mother’s long skirt, the inch-long baby leaf is just barely visible. Because of its youth, the young leaf has not fully straigthened out, and at first glance, it looks like a dog’s head with long, floppy ears. Shinier and deeper green than the older leaves, this young leaf has no brittle brown tips and is dulled only by few dust particles. A smooth waxy top hides the tougher, bumpty texture found underneath. Supporting this dog-eared leaf is a slender green stem that looks like it has to struggle to support the leaf. The fragile-looking stem leans toward the beam of sunshine, like wheat bending in the breeze. The leaf gives off no apparent smell, but because of its youthful appearance, a feeling of early springtime fills the air in my room. The family of leaves goes quietly about its business of generating new life and brightening my room. All I have to do is notice.

The caption below the photo graph at the bottom of page 21 should read "Gerdany can be woven on a loom.” The editor regrets any inconvenience to contributing authors and to readers. 22 ’’НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЖОВТЕНЬ 1995 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
