none of the flowering fruit trees in the ancient idiom 

are in this photo

 but some of my native plants are doing as they please

blooming and flourishing at their own rate

 

 “Oubaitori” comes from the kanji,  (Japanese characters), that symbolize four flowering trees: cherry blossom, plum, peach, and apricot. It’s an ancient idiom meaning that people, like the flowers on those trees, bloom and flourish at their own rate and in their own way. The overall takeaway: Don’t compare yourself to others, instead, celebrating your inherent uniqueness.

I’m on it.

“instead of trying to blend in and be like everyone else,

be proud of and celebrate your unique differences and qualities.

a fruit salad is delicious precisely because each fruit maintains its own flavor.”

for all the oddballs and misfits out there,

eventually, if you just follow your path,

you will reach somewhere no one else has.

you are uniquely meant to do something that only you can do.
