Betel Leaf

A merge between nature and culture.
A simple Betel Leaf.

One has to enter an entire state of pure awareness, away from the brooding mind of human nature. Some days, I feel closer to that state of clarity, whilst other days, I'm far from it.

In my culture, the Betel Leaf is relied on for the proceedings of numerous rituals. It's even used as a sustenance to the existing generation before mine, as it satiates their palate. The Betel leaf symbolises purity and freshness. It is a token of honour, pledge and love.

Well, here's a Haiku to express my love for the simple Betel leaf.
