This is a cherry blossom tree in front of Barnard
Bridge. It is so splendid and gorgeous that it looks like the flowers have just
bloomed. Even though most of the other flowers are falling off, this tree’s
blossoms are blooming gloriously. I think about the lives of flowers,
especially in Vancouver. Maybe it is because I see snow covered mountain some
miles away. Vancouver is where snow and flowers coexist, where winter and
spring coexist. This tree looks like it must have some nobility because it
appears to be the first tree to blossom for the season, so vibrant is its
appearance. In fact, it must be the last one. However, because it is the last
one, it gains people’s full attention. Although every cherry blossom tree
blooms for the same amount of time, the amount of the blossoms may vary.
I have heard an old singer talk about her life. She
lost her youth because she was popular and busy being a celebrity in her early
life, and thus regrets what she couldn’t enjoy as most normal young people do.
Therefore, she feels sorry for today’s teen idols. She knows that they must as
well lose their youth. Furthermore, it is no longer a matter of an idol
actually having any talent. Most teen idols are turned into celebrities and
made by entertainment companies.
Doesn’t life work the same way? Everyone has his or
her own spring in life. Who knows if that spring will be today or tomorrow? It
varies greatly. But, I would say, every person contributes his or her passion at
least once in a lifetime. I often see people enjoying that moment. An old man
may say he is living a sincere life while he is drawing. A person may realize
the true value of his or her life when one meets a true love. Although time and
the type of spring may differ, spring must come at least once in a lifetime. We
don’t need to get anxious waiting for that time to come. We just need to live
everyday earnestly and be prepared to enjoy our own spring seasons.
