Flowers of Perfection

Leafing through Oprah Magazine, I spied a paragraph by Martha Beck that touched on this idea...

In the 2003 historical drama, The Last Samurai, the handsome and talented Ken Watanabe plays a Samurai Lord known as Katsumoto. Katsumoto's displeasure with the Westernization of Japan courses through the movie as he personally searches in vain for the perfect cherry blossom. It is only near death that Katsumoto realizes that no single flower captures perfection. Truly, each and every flower on this wonderful planet is perfection itself.






I couldn't agree more!!






It seems as though we sometimes peek at life through lenses clouded with inadequacies and influenced by deficiencies, real or imagined. Imagine the exquisiteness of a life lived with joy, affection, gratitude, and beautiful flowers.






I should think we'd all be a whole lot happier....




Enjoy the view,
