Leaf Fusion

Post by keilani »

I was studying a tree that had both deciduous leaves and tropical leaves growing on it. The tree itself looked like a regular tree you'd see here (ie. oak) but the leaves were a mix of deciduous leaves and the tropical leaves looked like a cross between coconut and banana leaves. The branches went out from the tree and the leaves were only at the ends of the branches but they grew around the end of the branch. Like if you had a plate sitting on the end of the branch and leaves went out from beneath and around the plate much like rays would a sun if you drew a picture of it.

It was a very vivid picture and I found myself studying the tropical leaves in detail.

Hey Keilani,

Sounds like some group may be “leafing out” into a “mixed group,” tropical folks and regular folks. “... you are the branches ...”

Makes me think of how we’re all “one family,” even tho we’re from different climes. Makes sense that you’d be paying close attention to the tropical “leaves.” :wink:

Leaves “ ... like rays [around] a sun ...” :lol: Don't you mean instead, “THE Son” ?

Hugs,
Lily

mahalo once again Lily! Yah, the tropical leaves really got me since I knew that the mixture I saw doesn't exist irl! The scripture that came to mind was about the ingrafting of branches! As I pondered the picture, the way the leaves were, even though some leaves hung off the branch it came off of a little lower than others, much like you leaves would on a real tree, ALL of the leaves came forth at the same level. So kinda like all were equal, no one greater than another much like how we are all an equal and important part in the Body. Thanks again for your insight--the leafing out bit...definitely agree there is something coming along these lines so I'm excited to see it unfold. Blessings dear!
