Cherry Blossom: It Too Shall Pass / Impermanence
In the language of flowers, the cherry blossom whispers the quiet truth of life’s fleeting beauty.
To give or wear a cherry blossom is to say: “I treasure this moment—for I know it cannot last.”
According to Floriography , the cherry blossom symbolizes spiritual beauty, and is closely tied to grace, reflection, and the passage of time . It is not a flower of eternal love, but of the hush that invites you to pause—where beauty dwells, briefly, like breath held between moments.
From ancient Japan, cherry blossoms (sakura) are entwined with the spirit of the samurai, whose lives, like the blossom, were expected to end at their peak—sudden, honorable, and beautiful. Folklore also speaks of cherry trees as harbingers of departed souls, blooming at spring’s edge like soft ghosts of the past.
Once, in ancient Persia, a king asked for a phrase that would comfort him in joy and sorrow alike. His wisest men returned with a ring inscribed: “This too shall pass.”
In the quiet kingdom of flowers, the cherry blossom bears the same truth.
It lives a brief, radiant life—falling not to sadden us, but to awaken us.
Let this bloom remind you:
This too shall pass—so seize the moment while it still reaches for you. Taste every fleeting flavor of life.
