It's our short lived azalea season! Time to stop and smell the flowers while there's still time.
To paraphrase Zen Master Dogen, "The blooming of a spring flower is within the realm of fire and the time of flames. These sparks and flames and all sparks and flames occur within the space and time of the blooming of a spring flower. Know that in a single spark are hundreds of thousands of spring flowers, blooming in the sky, blooming on the earth, blooming in the past, and blooming in the present. Experiencing the actual blooming of a spring flower is to experience the space and time of this fire. Do not idly drift by this time and place of the spring flower."
