The Flower of Sakada and The Vine of Bambalu

Beautifying lives together

Have you ever seen a ray of sunlight fall onto the ground, with tiny dust particles moving along the light?

We witnessed it before the roofing slabs and sheets became a thing in our homes.

In our culture, an elder would advise the newlywed couple during marriage ceremonies. They often highlight the importance of living like the ‘Flower of Sakada’ and the ‘Vine of Bambalu.’

I thought these were mythical elements, but only recently I found their true meaning.

The ‘Flower of Sakada’ represents the ray of sunlight casting its glow on the ground, while the ‘Vine of Bambalu’ refers to the ethereal dance of dust particles in its path. To exist, they need each other.

Simple but amazing.

It’s an excellent way to illustrate the beautification of each other’s lives.
