This is my first experience living in the spring season in Vancouver. I took this picture at the exit of Burrard Station. I was so enchanted by the sakura (plum trees). Are they not wonderful?
Everybody has some hard moments during life: people that hurt us or other hard situations. When we think about them, our heart becomes sad and our energy dissipates. Maybe we should try to do the opposite. I like this text:
'Instead of living in what is already finished, live in the eternal now. ... No matter how much sadness you may have suffered in the past, do not let yourself be troubled by it. ... The plum tree does not cry over the fact that it was exposed to the cold of winter in the past; instead, it is "now" covered with plum blossoms that radiate joy. You are human beings, more blessed, more powerful, and more courageous than the plum blossoms. Indeed, that which is filled with nothing but joyful happenings is this thing called "human life". ' (Taniguchi, M. "Truth of life", v. 37, pp. 6-7)
