Three thousand flowers bloom, and I take just one to savor the joy of flower-watching

Spring is drawing to a close. Three months have passed like a white horse flashing past a crack, gone in an instant. This set of photos captures one beautiful moment of spring after another. Thank you all for sharing.

This spring, I think my biggest change is that I am no longer as anxious as I was the past two years. Too many plants bloom in spring, and there are too many I want to know, which needlessly added pressure. This year I am finally no longer so stubborn: I do not insist on figuring out the name of every new plant I encounter, nor do I insist on capturing flowers at their most beautiful moment.

Every encounter with a plant is a once-in-a-lifetime meeting, impossible to replicate. In this process, the surprise and rush of excitement at discovering a new plant, those full and joyful moments, are the one-of-a-kind gift and reward. A person cannot step into the same river twice, nor can they replicate the feeling and mood of encountering the same plant again. Sunny day or rainy day, it is all fate, each with its own beauty.

Three thousand flowers bloom, and I take just one to savor. May you also be unhurried, and enjoy every good moment of every day.
