Peach-Blossom Snow in March, a Beautiful Mood in April

Peach-blossom snow in March rustles down outside the window; a beautiful April mood leaps up in my heart~

—A note

Drifting, the snow is drifting, drifting so beautifully, and it slowly calms people’s hearts. Let me, in this season, spring, grow slowly like a sprouting seed, so that in these days of rapid growth I don’t carelessly grow crooked and lose my shape.

April hasn’t come yet, but I’m looking forward to it, longing for April’s bright days. The drifting snow of March slowly quiets this place, giving us enough time to think about the meaning of life and the meaning of growing up. Yes, April holds an even more beautiful mood.

Reading this season: cold and dry, and a bit dull too. A burst of snow brings a certain mood, as if a bit more warmth, a bit more moisture, and the season’s old memories are wiped away.

It’s as if this is the first time I’ve seen snow in March, as if the trees are just beginning to bud, as if the peach blossoms are opening too. A kind of curiosity and excitement leaps into my heart. In the past I was always rushing forward, head down, doing what I had to do, ignoring so many things around me, walking my own path, and yet I lost something. Numbness took over every corner of my heart, so feeling happy, having a beautiful mood, became a rare thing. I haven’t felt it in so long. I’m looking forward to it, enjoying it, and I hope it lasts……

Everyone walks their own path, but everyone reaches a different end. Some people enjoy it, some suffer through it. A mood makes us feel things differently and get different things out of life. Why not enjoy it? Maybe, busy with our own affairs, busy with the trivia around us, busy being busy with what we call our busy work, we forget what life is really about. We start to worry, and then the heart starts to die. One day you’re in the graveyard, and you arrive in heaven.

In heaven, someone asks you: “What were you doing with your life?”

You might say: “I was busy.”

“Busy with what?”

“Busy with what I had to be busy with.”

“And what was that?”

“Just busy stuff……” And then there’s nothing left to say.

“Have you ever felt a beautiful mood?”

“……No. Maybe back in elementary school. That was a long, long time ago……”

Two people in heaven, asking each other questions.

Look at this restless world, brush the dust off yourself, then lift your head, look into the distance, look all around, and enjoy it~

The snow of March

The mood of April……

Full of hope for the future, and earnestly enjoying the present.
