桜

Blog's looking a little dead so thought I'd liven it up with some sakura flowers that were in bloom last week. The thing about sakura flowers is that they only bloom for about 2 weeks and everyone comes out of their homes to sit under the sakura trees in the park in large groups to drink sake and have dango together, a really heartening and lively affair. Yet shortlived as once the petals fall off and the trees turn green again, everyone disappears as suddenly as they came. Ahh such shortlived beauty that reminds one of the transience of life and the importance of making the most out of everyday just as we are thankful for everyday eh? :)

love,
