Come quickly –
As soon as these blossoms open
They fall.
This world exists
As a sheen of dew
On flowers.
Izumi Shikibu
The words of this Japanese poet, penned hundreds of years ago, encourage us to recognize the ephemeral and transitory nature of this life. Moments of beauty, joy, peace, connection – they come and go. Let’s open our eyes, and our hearts to received these gifts today. To open our hands and watch in wonder as they sift through our fingers and we exclaim, “Oh, how lovely!”
Have a wonderful week everyone,
Jim
