Cherry Picks
By Eve Zibart Washington Post
Friday, March 30, 2007; Page WE21
Cherry blossoms are the rosebuds of Japan, so to speak, the gather-while-ye-may symbols of fleeting beauty, the harbingers of spring and new life but also the gentle heralds of decay. So sakura hanami, the tradition of blossom viewing, isn't just about the picnicking and the partying and the karaoke binges afterward. It reflects a quintessential tenet of Japanese philosophy: the transitory nature of perfection. Artists, musicians, actors, puppeteers, poets, athletes and scholars, even chefs, aspire to their best while acknowledging the inherent flaw and brevity that is human. The cherry blossom has even been used to symbolize the samurai death in battle. (The cherry blossom is also the Japanese rose in the sense that it represents love, a graceful warning about the likely fading of that gentle emotion as well.)
In Japan, aficionados chase the front of the blooming tide, or sakura zensen, from Okinawa in the south, where the first blossoms open in March, through Kyoto and Tokyo and eventually up to Hokkaido in May. One of the most famous folk anthems, "Sakura," describes the blossoms as looking like "the mist, or else the clouds" that spread across "the expanse of the spring sky." (Not that it's solely a Japanese passion: My father always quoted A.E. Housman's "Loveliest of trees, the cherry now," a sort of English haiku celebrating the blossoming tree "hung with snow.") But perhaps no art can fully prepare one for the vision of the Tidal Basin in full living glory.

Some idiot tried to hang his 3-year-old son. What the hell is wrong with these people!
Just last week another loser killed his girlfriend and her 18-month baby.
And we have lived in a crime-free area for a long time. The worst thing that happened here for years was that some low-life stole my bicycle. And that's not really that big of a deal.
