A CHANCE DISCOVERY

I was reading an old volume of Haiku, and stumbled upon one that resonates so concisely with the TRUTH OF THE BLOSSOM installation that I was startled.

ASHES MY BURNT HUT...
          BUT WONDERFUL
          THE CHERRY
BLOOMING ON MY HILL
                     -Hokushi

I feel as though this installation has now connected to a lineage of thought and living-metaphor ages old.
