"One Leaf, One Cave" is the second part of Mo Fei's poetry and nature photography series "All Things Have Life". There are 81 lines of poems and 81 photographs, composed only for one kind of plant, Tianmu Qionghua. Could it be that he has never written such a long poem about the flower he loves, and what triggered him was not the flower itself, but the withered leaves of Tianmu Qionghua. By chance, he spent two noons in a row photographing the same leaf of Tianmu Qionghua. Because of the wind, every shooting moment is different. This is no longer a leaf of Tianmu Qionghua. Under the changes of light, shadow and wind, this is no longer a leaf of Tianmu Qionghua. One flower is the Celestial Eye Qionghua, and one leaf is the Bodhi. Could it be that I just took the time to go under the tree and saw her, that's all. Just in line with that sentence, if you have it in your heart, you have it in the world. In addition to the long poem, "One Leaf, One Cave in the Sky" has a special appendix, which uses pictures and texts to record and explain the process of Tianmu Qionghua from germination to decline.
