ah, thank you, my dear one! i have been away too for a while, times haven't been easy. i am happy to find you again, here in this oasis of peace and beauty and ethereal worlds. i am so sorry for discovering your wonderful gift only now. i am humbled and honoured by your friendship.
ps. i don't get any notification in my emails from your blog, that is why i don't know when you answer something in the comments. it has to do with some blogger flaw.
my dear japanese peach blossom, so sorry about late reply...are you feeling better now? so sorry to hear about the difficulties you have been going through please let me know if there's something I can do for you...
thank you ever so much for the kind words, undeserving of them as i am...
would that it was all an oasis of peace, beauty and ethereal worlds...
In the peaceful light
ReplyDeleteOf the ever-shining sun
In the days of spring,
Why do the cherry's new-blown blooms
Scatter like restless thoughts?
Ki no Tomonori
why indeed do they scatter...to remind us of the brevity of beauty, of love, of life...all is fading away and His Beautiful Face remains...
ReplyDeleteall that blossoms is bound
to wither
to fade away
evanescent
*
but the hopeful promise of
resurrection and rebirth
gathers every single petal
once scattered
new life
new beauty
new love
eternity
:)
