Above & Beyond - Hope

For about only one week of the year, these beautiful flowers are in bloom. They're in bloom in many countries, but somehow there is a completely different level attained in this country. It's so beautiful in my opinion but it's so short. About 1/52 of the year the country becomes so alive, that beautiful equilibrium of nature and human development is matched. Such short things are apparent in many things, your teens, your childhood, relationships, historic events, etc.. Somehow at the time they feel so long, sometimes unbearable. but then they're reduced to mere memories and tiny fractions of an incalculable whole. Time washes them away and hope brings them back... in a new and beautiful form.
