My sensors picked up the blooming of cherry blossom trees. The natural light pink canopy that stretches across multiple city streets simply took my breath away. In Tokyo, This time of year is called 'sakura' where ancient poetry topics revering fleeting beauty, held since at least medieval times in Japan. Cherry blossom also represents the sadness that life tends to end quickly. But I found beauty in the contrast of how quickly they flourish and disappear. It reminds me of how impermanence is key to find beauty everywhere.
