May Spring take your breath away.

May Spring take your breath away...

The temple bell stops 
but I still hear the sound 
coming out of the flowers.  ~Basho

When you have only two pennies left in the world, 
buy a loaf of bread with one, 
and a lily with the other.  ~Chinese Proverb 

May the sun shine large upon your soul

and cast shadows of flowers and hope.
