Cherry blossom in Japan

"To the Japanese, the fragile cherry blossom is a profound lesson in how to live and how to die.
It bursts triumphantly into beauty in one short span,
and then when its time comes to go, instead of clinging to the branch of life,
it gracefully yields to the inevitable,
and flutters down to join its fellows in the eternal realm of nature."
