Cherry Blossom Brilliance #4 - Salem, Oregon - USA

Oh how I love these magnificent creations. Cherry Blossoms, bringing so much joy to so many. Although, it's a fleeting joy that fades away all too quickly, and I have found a way to experience this joy with or without these brilliant blossoms. The source of my love for these wonderful gifts from mother nature comes from sheer reverence, awe, wonder, and appreciation for the intelligence which orchestrates and allows for such beautiful creations. The same intelligence that allows for us beautiful human creations, allows us to breathe oxygen, circulate blood, and have conscious thoughts and experiences. Best summarized as God. In connecting with their beauty, I am connecting with God. Just as when connecting with a brilliant sunset, or the soul of another human being. For it is in all of us, in all things, and will remain my source of joy regardless of the weather or the seasons. This beautiful and massive Cherry Blossom was found while on a bike ride through my hometown at the time, Salem, Oregon.
