All will transmigrate.
The worry is unnecessary.
We may have forgotten something important.

ReplyDeletevery beautiful
ReplyDeletebisous Ruma
桜は大勢で喜びを共有して愛でるのもいいし、一人で静かに向き合うのもまたいいですよね。見る人の心を反映するのか、桜が見る人の心に語りかけるのか・・・細川ガラシャの生涯を考えるとその歌も身がひきしまる感じがします。華やかにエネルギッシュに生を謳歌しているような一枚目のお写真。散った花びらに愛らしい瞳を輝かせているのが見えるような少女のかがみこんだ後ろ姿。風景に溶け込んでいいですね。
ReplyDeleteRuma your pictures and words touch my heart:))) I wish you all the best
ReplyDeleteLove these images!:)
ReplyDeleteThe pics are so beautiful that they look unreal. Amazingly beautiful! Have a great week end, dear Ruma!

Olá!
ReplyDeleteAs fotografias das árvores floridas são maravilhosas!O chão pejado de pétalas fica atapetado e lindo! Parabéns e obrigada por tanta tanta beleza! Um abraço.
歴史に翻弄された女性達の歌。それぞれの心情と桜が重なって、桜の日本人に与える重要性、神秘性等、感じます。ある本に載ってましたが、さくらの、”さ”は、清らを、”くら”は宿るをあらわし、神が宿る木だとか。この感情が、先祖から私達に伝わってきてるらしいです。私は、年をとるにつれ、桜が好きになってきてます。お寺の地面の桜のはなびら、すごいですね。
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
Hi Ruma - as you say the experience is powerful - but the memory is even more powerful as it can linger and influence our lives linger - influence with the simple quiet beauty of nature. Peace. B
