(no subject)
i sit here listening to neutral milk hotel and and i can't help but think about the woman and the cherry blossoms. my bus driver left today. they gave her run to someone else with a contract. she seemed fine with it. as fine as you can be when you leave place you liked. but she kept referring back to something.
i wish i could have been here to see the springtime.
and it got me thinking about how i had never noticed it before. and i probably wouldn't have if she hadn't said something. every day for three years i have passed the same streets, houses, and trees. and not once have i noticed the field of cherry blossom trees lining the road. and this woman did. she was there for 3 months, and she noticed the little, beautiful things that i have been ignoring. taking for granted. i admire people who can notice the grandeur around them immediately. it's a gift to appreciate what surrounds you. the people who surround you. the things you experience every day.
and i can't help but wonder if she ever noticed how pretty the sunrise is.
