Sakura
Life is good, so far my spring has been a series of serendipitous events and lots of time spent with friends. While there are low moments, boring moments, frustrating moments even, I am ridiculously happy.
I can't help but think though, that I felt this way the same time last year, and well, the summer turned into one of the worst ever soon after. I'm not superstitious, nor do I think that history will repeat itself (or so I hope) but I can't help but feel somehow that this happiness is on borrowed time. I feel as if each spike in happiness is shadowed with concern, that my good mood is as fragile as the blossom on a cherry tree, and it will only be a moment before its cast adrift in the wind,
I know, all is impermanent, good moods, nice weather, youth, love, sooner or later, it all comes to an end. Instead of worrying about what might be, i need to do more to enjoy the moments as they come.
