In color psychology, pink is a sign of hope. It is a positive color that inspires warm and comforting feelings. The color pink gives the feeling that everything will go well or be okay. Most people have heard of the saying “everything is rosy”. It may also indicate good health and success. (Jacob Olesen - Color-Meanings.com)

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming.”- Pablo Neruda Anticipation: hope, joy, trust, awaiting, promise, high hopes, impatience, contemplation, outlook, expectation, foresight... Buddha once held up a flower to his disciples and asked each of them to say something about it. One pronounced a lecture. Another a poem. Yet another a parable. Each trying to outdo the other in depth and erudition. Mahakashyap smiled and said nothing. Only he had seen the flower. Anthony de Mello: The Song of the Bird, "Label makers" 
Apple Blossoms One evening in winter when nothing has been enough, when the days are too short, the nights too long and cheerless, the secret and docile buds of the apple blossoms begin their quick ascent to light. Night after interminable night the sugars pucker and swell into green slips, green silks. And just as you find yourself at the end of winter's long, cold rope, the blossoms open like pink thimbles and that black dollop of shine called bumblebee stumbles in. Susan Kelly De-Witt − from To a Small Moth Jarek
There is a time of the year when it seems that fragments of the sky are scattered on the ground and they appear to be bluer than the bluest heavens. It's squill woken up by a spring sun rays, opening its bijou but unbelievably cobalt flowers.
In chorus, the air above the fields begins to fill with honey-like smell and the eyes do not have enough of the golden yellow catkins, the culprit of that commotion. Unnoticeable until yesterday, now goat willow is becoming fluffier and fluffier with every hour. Blue squill like peace, yellow catkins like ripen cereal. A beautiful couple.

Flowering Cherries... I find it very hard to choose the right words to begin this post with. If you would like to experience what it means to become speechless with wonder and disbelief, there is no better way than to glance at a Japanese Cherry in bloom. Having done that, try to utter a sentence, a phrase or even a single word if you can. This is exactly the way I feel right now searching for expressions that do not exist. A blissful state of lexical inability. I was lucky though; I got help from Sonja Varga, a young Croatian girl, who wrote a beautiful haiku, surely impressed by the same source of the incriminating amazement. Let me quote her verse: "As if there were/no other blossoms/- a cherry in bloom." Sonja is so right. When ornamental cherries bloom, the rest of the world transforms into a mere background, and I know why: it simply becomes speechless! With wonder and disbelief! |
