"UME NO HANA" Japanese Plum Blossom-2

Plum blossom is a flower with a particularly good fragrance. Comparing to its elegant posture, its fragrance has a bewitching face. The red flower and the white flower, both have different smells as well.

 

 

As a child I remember I was often told: "Don't try to force the bud to open even if you cannot wait to see flower."But I would always tear off the buds.

In today's world, we can easily get most of the things we need, avoid what is bothering, and get rid of things with no particular attachment.

Is this a happy thing? I am afraid we become more and more arrogant thinking that everything goes the way we want to.

"Wishes come true if we strongly desire" is true in the sense that we should be ambitious and make efforts, but in a different dimension, "life doesn't go just as we want" is also one true aspect of life.

Always treated with the most respectful attitude, with no trouble, the more life gets convenient, the more people complain about waiting and enduring. It does not help people to grow.

Inconvenient things in life may pile up, but we control our irritation, and wait for hope, the spring, to come.

 

Different from Sakura which blossom in warm spring and easily fall down with the wind, Plum flowers blossom in the severe environment and do not easily fall down.

 

We cannot explain this flower in a word.
