The Cherry Trees are in bloom in St Annes Park (Raheny) and soon the blossoms will fall and we'll not see it for another year. Don't miss them if you live nearby. It's the simple and temporary glory of it that makes it so precious, that fills me with awe and gladness This is a money website, and you'd think money & nature don't mix. But I was reminded of a poem I once heard, apt for these recessionary times, that reminds me of what really matters, and how money should really be viewed:
" If thou of fortune be bereft,
And in thy store there be but left,
two loaves, sell one, and with the dole,
Buy Hyacinths to feed thy soul. "
So, are the best things really free?
