memories are time beings, too, like cherry blossoms or ginkgo leaves; for a while they are beautiful, and then they fade and die.

In Ruth Ozeki's "A Tale for the Time Being," the concept of memories is beautifully illustrated by the comparison to cherry blossoms and ginkgo leaves. Just as these natural elements bloom fleetingly, memories also have a transient beauty, existing in our minds only for a limited time before they fade away. This analogy evokes a sense of both appreciation and melancholy, highlighting the impermanence of moments we cherish.
