Welcoming Spring Equinox each year with memoirs of the past

​

Sakura series is about remembering the fruits and wisdom spring has to offer, I call these spring memoirs 'sakura' to honor the Japanese cherry blossoms that bloom so beautifully,

Although cherry blossoms  grow across the northern and eastern hemisphere, there's something rather magical about the Sakura trees of japan don't you think.

 I have always admired the way the national tree off Japan the cherry blossom is featured in the art and film world 

I am grateful for the wisdom I have drawn from my observations throughout the seasons and especially springs blossoms.

Here is what I have cultivated from it.

Freedom to Express

​

Nothing can stop a bud from its growth, as sure as there's sunshine the bud will blossom and express its genetic code. we must do the same, what ever obstacles we face it is important to face and learn why the challenge has arisen. for me, it was being stagnant with projects and ideas I had developed over time, I came to realise what held me back was psychological reasons such as fear of judgment, fear of responsibility and everybody's favorite good ol procrastination. 

​

The judgement feared stemmed first from harsh critique I once gave myself, "Who's going to care about that" How can you influence change the world?" and of course ”What if it's just not going to be good enough?" 

I had to silence this oppressive, self-doubting  voice because the answer to any of those questions doesn't really matter, My role is one and the same with the blooming plants of spring “To express what is within me" and "Live in purpose on this earth”. With pure intent and the creators guidance (intuition) there is “No reason for me to get caught up in the opinions of others”, another person's opinion whether helpful or irrelevant, will not fulfill my experience.

Once you plan to do something…do it! No matter the outcome. Growth occurs comes  from an internal spark to action! whether that action yields  favorable results or not.... The experience will serve you spiritually; What real lessons can be learnt if you don't first experience it?.
