How little did I know as a child, when I blew away the seeds of a dandelion that one of the great ends of nature was being fulfilled! This dandelion for me is a wonderful metaphor. For example, the seeds fly away without knowing where they will land. But on the place where they land, new life will begin. This is an element of non-attachment, of freedom. Being detached from the old allows one to gain the new. The seeds grow and develop having found a new place. It is at this point everything is seen from a different angle. This moment will provide a fresh look at the world, and at the many truths that become evident as life journeys on. So the journey that each of us travel, are like the seeds of the dandelion. Letting go of the old, to open up to the new which may take courage and determination, realizing that this is necessary for growth. It is truly amazing that it is not what you see, it's how you see it! Even the seeds of the dandelion can provide a metaphor for life, if one only takes the time to see.
