All I can talk about is purple flowers. 
Every year, during the week before my birthday, the air changes. The sun gets warmer and there is a smell of blossom everywhere.
During this first week of May, the purple flowers on the tree in the large lawn in front of the dining hall, reach maturity and begin to fall. They leave a round purple aura on the green grass. The purple flowers are the only memory that is not charged with politics, that is not charged with guilt, that is not charged with hiding. A memory that has only sweetness and even pride. The purple flowers are all that remains after cleaning everything that hurts.
