💧Bastard Box's “A Drop of Small Courage”

by Aqua

The smaller the flower,
the stronger the feelings it holds.
Though it looks as if it might vanish in the wind,
just one blooming flower
suddenly brightens the path of spring.

This flower quietly teaches us
that there is a kindness
that can be felt without words.

The Himehagi is
modest yet strong at its core—
it’s a flower that embodies the “courage to gently stand by someone.”
