I see a lot of people posting photos of cherry blossoms, but

where I live we only have a few yellow and pink flowers to be proud of. But I love them still.

When I start feeling the changes, and worrying about the state of the world, I take a deep breath and remember:

Nature was here first. We humans are actually not in control. Power, money, lust and such things are always present, but they are not the most important things, and they are definitely not the most beautiful.

Gentleness, kindness, relationship, honor, honesty, and above all truth. These are what to look for and focus on amidst the chaos.
