Not a single bud with a useless existence
'[Flowers] play a significant role in our lives.
We give them to those important to us on birthdays,
to celebrate weddings or births,
to symbolize condolence at a time of death.
In ceremonies throughout our lives
flowers are an indispensable presence. (...)
I see not a single bud with a useless existence’.
- Makoto Azuma: Azuma & Shiinoki: Encyclopedia of Flowers.

"Ice contains no future, just the past, sealed away.

- Haruki Murakami, Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman

“The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry.
It does not try to crush others.
It keeps to its course, but by its very nature,
it gently influences.
What other body could pull an entire ocean
from shore to shore? '
― Deng Ming-Dao
