With the beauty of the cherry blossoms comes the weight of decisions,
the possible point of no return. The freedom when one decides what is best
without regrets. The liberation. For I am a free woman and I shall remain so
till the day I die.
I celebrate hanami like a true admirer of beauty. I drink the sake, eat
the sushi, I have all the time in the world to search for the flowers and
contemplate them like is my first time. But it is my first time, it is my first
time observing them with these eyes. Only in Japan was it possible for me to
learn that smelling flowers, watching leaves and seeking abandoned temples
should always make it into my to-do list. And I am so happy because beauty
requires change and change means evolution. I am in a constant state of
evolution and that is good.
