The air is redolent with the scent of cherry blossoms; the three trees we planted a decade ago are in full bloom in the garden, and the pollinators are enthralled by their glory.

As time goes on, I become more passionate about flowers, about the joy their sight brings to my eyes and soul, and the deep succor ensconced in their scent.
