If you ask a monk they would probably just say something like " a tree looses its leaves in the fall time". Then leave you to figure it out for the rest of your life.

@GuyWithOpinions I tell ya that monk would fit in SW just fine. 😄
But why would the tree lose it's leaves? Doesn't it eventually figure out how to keep them better organized?

@Punches it would probably have a deeper meaning like relating the cycles of life between nature and humanity in a bhudist philosophy. Hence why it would take an american ages to figure out.

@GuyWithOpinions obviously that monk never saw a conifer! 🤣
The misunderstanding is similar in reverse.
You think they would know why pagans decorated living trees that had leaves at winters solstice?
Because conifers never loose all their leaves at any time of the year.
Most Christians don't even know that. And stole the ritual without understanding it. So they killed it and cut the tree down. Insuring all the life left it.

@GuyWithOpinions my father hated the Christian ritual. And was raised in eastern Europe. Near the Caucasus mountains were the word Cauc"asian" originated.
