Cherry will blossom, regardless





It's springtime, and the cherry blossoms are very open and the air suffused with evergreen and moss both, which was almost too much. There are birds, and the angle of the sun made the water of Fraser River look emerald.

We’re still under the dark cloud of Covid-19. I use nature for therapy. I use my daily walk to make sense of what's happening out there everyday and to keep me sane. 

Hold on to this time, these few weeks when the sun is high and we remember only the best part of the year, and for a little while all is well, the hardship forgotten. Hold on to this, before it goes. Hold your loved ones close, tell them what they mean to you, be kind. This is the spring and it's very, very fleeting.
