Risk

Came across this blog by chance when I was considering to study Korean in Korea and was searching information on it. It's one of the best (if not the best) blog I've come to know.

Recently, the writer of the blog (who is also a Singaporean) posted these pictures of chanomeles (below) and other spring flowers taken in Korea. I do not know the names of all the flowers but these nameless spring flowers promise such sweetness and light.

Spring must be a wonderful thing. Such a priviledge to enjoy it here and it makes me wonder how much more intensely I would have if I were right there where and when the picture was taken.

And Anais Nin's poem 'Risk' came to mind naturally:

And the day came,
when the risk to remain tight
in a bud
was more painful
than the risk
it took
to Blossom.

Blossom my friends, go ahead and blossom bravely,
as I wish to,
myself.
