Legendary Blossoms
Here’s a flashback photo. Circa April 2011. My son, Tommy, was a junior at the University of Washington, using his trademark energy and studying more than he ever had before.
Demanding life.
I stopped by on my way to a Christian writers conference. It was a quick visit.
We met in UW’s Quad—the heart of the campus and the place where the famous 90 year-old Yoshino cherry trees were in peak bloom.
We snapped some photos like hundreds of others were doing along the walkway.
Then it was over—Tommy had a class, and we both had a busy schedule ahead.
I looked back and watched him walk towards his future. I had turned the page to a new chapter.
In a blink, many years passed.
But each spring, as I see the cherry blossoms, it’s a beautiful reminder of life’s goodness, of time’s passage.
So, love the beauty, and love those surrounding you. In a blink, it’s changed.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. Ecclesiastes 3:1
