Tree, Leaf and Wind

"Leaf's departure is because of Wind's pursuit. Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay?"

Sometimes its not a matter of whether or not Tree asked Leaf to stay. When the stem that joins Leaf to Tree is weaken due to certain reasons, no matter how much Tree asked Leaf to stay, Leaf will still leave sooner or later. Tree might be extend Leaf's stay, but the weakened joint is a weakened joint, it will never to as strong as it used to be. Leaf will not be happy living in such adverse conditions so it might be better indeed for Tree to let go.

Wind's pursuit is just a minor factor affecting Tree's decision to let go. Somehow, Wind's pursuit acts a catalyst in this reaction. If Leaf is firmly rooted to Tree, no matter how strong is Wind's pursuit, Leaf will not depart. Sometimes, even when Tree is being uprooted after a storm, Leaf will sticks with Tree, maybe this is what they call "Till death do us part".

The root of the problem lies in what happened to the joint that binds Leaf to Tree. That is what Tree wants to know now, so as to prevent future leaves from leaving. Speculations only bring about part of the answer. Only Leaf will have the true answer behind everything.

The fault lies not in Wind and neither does it lies with Leaf, I think the root of the problem lies with Tree. A lack of nutrients supplied from Tree to Leaf causes the joint to weaken. Tree has probably taken Leaf too much for granted and thus did not bother to supply sufficient nutrients to Leaf.

Wind did pursue, Tree indeed didnt ask her to stay. Leaf left....Why didnt Tree ask Leaf to stay? Because Tree can no longer supply nutrients to Leaf, letting her leave for somewhere where there are more nutrients.

Sidenote: Suddenly recalled this story about Tree, Leaf and Wind. The above is just a personal thought process.
