Serenity

For as long as I can remember I have always found something so serene and peaceful about the cherry blossom. I came across the meaning of the cherry blossom according to Japanese history and it couldn't be more accurate or make anymore sense.

The significance of the cherry blossom tree in Japanese culture goes back hundreds of years. In their country, the cherry blossom represents the fragility and the beauty of life. It's a reminder that life is almost overwhelmingly beautiful but that it is also tragically short.

I took this picture about 20 years ago with a crappy cell phone :)
