‘Spring comes to all, equally. It does not come quickly because someone wants it to, or slowly to one who wishes for delay. Spring arrives for everyone in the same fashion. In the sunlight, violets are violets, cherry blossoms are cherry blossoms. Some of the flowering stems or branches are short and others are long. Each blooms with a flower unique to it.’ (Zen Seeds)

I went looking for posts from 2017 to revisit, and this one popped up. It also brought to mind, this time, words of Dogen I posted after the election, which I am trying to hold close still.
