I will knock
at the gate in the darkness
where the U flowers leave off

Kyorai

There is a very similar white flowering shrub here in Thailand, known as
'saniat moraa', though the habit of growth is not as pendulous, which I happened to encounter this morning. It was blooming as profusely as if it had been a cherished, well tended treasure in someone's garden. And yet it was growing amidst weeds in an empty lot. I went over to admire its magnificent show of flowers, and also to assure it that its lovely floral display was appreciated.
