Are we to look at cherry blossoms only in full bloom, the moon only when it is cloudless? To long for the moon while looking on the rain, to lower the blinds and be unaware of the passing of the spring - these are even more deeply moving. Branches about to blossom or gardens strewn with flowers are worthier of our admiration. Anonymous
About This Quote

When we make it our goal to capture the beauty of spring or summer, we are missing out on the whole beauty of the season. Like the cherry blossoms, the moon is also worth admiring even during cloudy weather. Branches, flowers and gardens are more worthy of our admiration because they are more beautiful when they are in their natural shapes. We have to be willing to be open minded at all times so that we can experience all of life's beauty.
