The Samurai's Garden

"Take that flower. It has a short life span, but you know just what to expect of it. The leaves are turning yellow-orange, so you know within a week they'll fall. Fortunately -- or unfortunately -- we human beings have much longer lives. And that makes for many more complications. But in the end, you can only look back, hoping everything that happens in your life is for a purpose. Whether you see her or not anymore won't take away from your having known her. If she is important, she will stay with you."

I wonder whose lives I will stay with, when we all look back at our lives.
