Avant-garde, Experimental
Life never truly ends, though only creatures and plants experience that unknowing wholeness of perpetual rebirth from season to season. To think holistically presumes the continuity of existence, presumes an appreciation of the 'la grace des grandes choses' and presumes a child-like faith that the omega will presage a new alpha. This is the great mystery of the natural world. This is why the dandelion can make us wise.
Avant-garde, Experimental
Dandelions are weeds by everyday standards. Disgusting and ugly, most respectable people give themselves permission to destroy them at every sighting. How is it, then that small children are drawn to the cheerful yellow luminescence of these flowers, gathering the abundantly brilliant 'stars' to create golden crowns and necklaces. And if a bouquet is thrust forward in a chubby little hand, we don't recoil with disgust, but warmly accept the precious gift with a smile. Could there be some special promise in these resilient, omnipresent beacons? A promise of love that is passed from person to person, planting seeds in the heart that one day bloom and spread to plant seeds in the hearts of others.
