Cherry Blossoms in Central Park

pov: walking along a path lined with cherry blossoms in peak bloom 🌸✨ (📌 SAVE this for your next visit to NYC in Spring) I finally experienced the cherry blossoms in Central Park and now I get it! Experiencing them is so much more than admiring pretty pink flowers. It’s a feeling of rebirth, it’s the joy of color after a season of grey. It’s a metaphor for human existence. In Japanese culture, cherry blossoms (sakura) represent the fragility and beauty of life. While blooming season is glorious and intoxicating, it’s also short-lived — a visual reminder that our lives, too, are fleeting. Cherry blossoms remind us to pay attention - to marvel at our own passing time on earth with joy and passion, to revel in life because it can end at any moment, to witness the beauty that surrounds us everywhere: a stranger’s smile, a child’s laugh, time with our loved ones and friends. When you pay attention and when you look for it, there’s something to appreciate and be grateful for every single day. Some days it might be more obvious than others. But I dare you to try. Have you seen the cherry blossoms yet? If not, consider this your sign to add it to your bucket list! 📍Bridle Path (W 86th St & Central Park West) 🎥 Thanks for your help @matt.ritchie _____
