Welcome to Falling Petals

Welcome to my blog. :) I already have another one: Star Sparkle Blog and when I started that, I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted to do, so I started out posting about different things, like music, film, TV etc. Then it evolved to being mostly about music with occasional other things. Recently I thought I'd like to start another blog that was more kind of spiritual/philosophical. So here it is! I decided to call it Falling Petals because at the moment I'm re-reading one of my favourite books The Tale Of Murasaki by Liza Dalby, in that they write a lot of poetry which is about things like petals falling as the season change and I thought it was a beautiful image. I I'm not sure what exactly I'll post on here yet, but I'll see as I go. And let's see how it works out. :)

Here's a video that I found on YouTube of some falling petals, I think cherry blossom (sakura in Japanese).

Update 28/2/20: Unfortunately the original video is gone, which is a shame because it was beautiful! But here is another nice one of sakura falling in Japan:



And here is a video of chery blossom falling in Lewes (a town in my county Sussex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qsp3J98YQQo
