Raphia Regalis Leaves

God directs life\'s journey but wont force the hand: creating foliage and leaves - man might understand.

From the smallest to the grandest need there be more? Allusions to human happiness there are four.

Consuming and procreating: collecting Wolffia leaves floating on a sluggish stream.

Gathering degrees and acquiring initials: counting orange fat fish slicing below Hermine water lily leaves.

Giving and receiving indissoluble love, as in the beginning,
between Adam and Eve: unfolding and unfolding of subtropical Banana leaves,
blowing in the gentlest and stiffest of breezes.

Discovering perfect beauty, love, truth, justice, and being: uniting entirely in Raphia Regalis leaves.
