There was a time when mornings began not with alarms, but with the silent invitation of coral jasmine scattered beneath the tree. We never plucked them; we gathered them with gentle hands, as though they were tiny stars that had fallen from the night sky. Their fragrance lingered softly, carrying stories of simpler days, loving grandparents, whispered prayers, and dew-kissed paths.
The coral jasmine teaches a quiet lesson—it blooms in the darkness, gives away its beauty before sunrise, and falls without regret. Yet even after it leaves the branch, its fragrance remains, much like cherished memories that never fade.
Every blossom is a reminder that life's most beautiful moments are often the simplest: a peaceful morning, a handful of fragrant flowers, and a heart filled with gratitude. Some flowers bloom to be admired; coral jasmine blooms to be remembered.
