Buson - Plum blossoms everywhere, I should go south, I should go north

Imagine it is towards the end of winter and the plum blossoms are just starting to bloom in your area. They bloom at different times starting in the south and moving north. So do you go south to see the plum blossoms in full bloom? Or do you go north to see the new blooms? ... This poem so beautifully captures the "dilemma" when all options are good.
