MAEHWA
BLOOMING WONDERS
“Sometimes we experience a sensation
that words cannot grasp, lost in a
whirlwind of events, and, all of a sudden,
we perceive an inner calm, born from a
pure connection with nature.
This happened in a park in Seoul, when we
found ourselves in an emotional turmoil
for what was happening around us, and
suddenly, we remained suspended for a
moment. People of all ages, together with
us, were turning their heads up to gaze
at the plum blossoms, with their open
corolla or with small spherical buds still
closed, waiting for them to vibrate in the
breeze. Subtle whispers of wonder arose
spontaneously.”
“In the Korean language, maehwa is plum blossom.
It’s a delicate word, revealing the unexpected
gift of wonder. ”
