The rain and wind have come back, and winter seems to have returned. I awoke to find my Wisteria that was in full bloom the day before surrounded by a sea of fallen petals reminding me of this poem by Men Hao Ran:
Sleeping in spring,
unaware of the dawn
All around me,
I hear the birds singing
Last night,
the sound of wind and rain
Flowers have fallen,
I wonder how many……..
