Memories may be the reflection of what was sought for,

I spent some moments reaching to my books hoping to find some of those full of underlines................It is easy to go back and read what was found before "of interest". It takes more time to find new thoughts of interest than to go back to what was already of interest. Like the memories from the song "we smile at the old days" and relax in what was interesting. When the dawn comes the night will be a memory too and a new day will begin.

"Do not seek to follow in the footsteps

of the wise. Seek what they sought."

~ Basho

I do like the song "Memories". Seems like the words lend themselves to a slow look through past experiences, books and even a small journal, tonight. Soon it will be morning......Daylight, waiting for the sunlight.

Thinking of a new life when the dawn comes,

then the night will be a memory too,

and a new day will begin...........................

The picture of the cherry tree was sent by a friend who works in Japan. It reminds me of Washington DC and of Southern Korea and brings back some memories far different than those connected to this particular tree.
