This piece brought to mind Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” a poem I’ve loved since long before I truly understood it. Your words carry the same bittersweet truth: beauty is precious because it’s fleeting. Thank you for the reminder to live fully in the moment… the past is gone, the future isn't promised, and what we have right now is enough to cherish.

When a flower blooms with all its glory, the colors, the scent , the brilliant design, it lasts for a very brief time. That is what makes it most precious.
