The blossoming sakura gifts us with an evanescent spectacle that parallels the fleeting beauty of life. People the world over admire these delicate blooms but my favorite part of this enchanting season is when the blossoms begin to shed their petals. For me, it serves as a graceful, gentle reminder that our time here is transitory. Like the blossoms, we begin full of potential and we bloom forth into this beautiful world, but like them, we are fragile and we must all fade and fall with the passing of our season. I hope that until that very last day dawns, we can make our shine forth and share the beauty of our world.
