Seasonal Zen terms
花見半開
Hana wa hankai wo miru
All things are constantly changing.
After completion, there is nothing left but decline and decay.
And yet, this new stage of imperfection and imbalance offers a different order of beauty,
Amid infinite possibilities that may culminate in another fleeting moment of perfection.
