“Though leaves are many, the root is one”
This can be taken in so many ways, are the leaves the moments of our lives and the root our birth? I believe that your life is made of a few large moments in your life. I looked as the tree as the root is my destiny and the leaves are significant moments in my life and after I live that moment that leaf die and falls off, eventually my destiny will end and I will die. But a dead tree will leave a mark on the world. I live my life for my leaves the moments that make me who I am, and the flowers are the times I give someone else a leaf, so they can have a siginfact moment to mold to their destiny.
“Now I may wither into the truth.”
With age comes truth. As we die we learn ultimate truths about after life, and if we amounted to everything. In the last moments of our life we gain the most wisdom we ever had. I imagine death to be a panic because you gain the secretes of life and know you cant share them with your children or love ones. Human life has be centered on unlocking this Pandora’s box of secretes, and as you die you have the key only to have it be tauntingly pried from your hands. Death is a final taught to give you the power of the world only to isolate you, to be haunted to death by your new found wisdom. We all have different leaves but are tricked and tortured by death.
I don't even think we have to die--I think we learn truths as we continue to age.
