"What we resist, persists."
Kristin Neff
There is much to be learned from a Dandelion. It is flexible, relentless and prepared to simply float away. Although the stalk is not necessarily sturdy, it is firm while the footpaths of mankind intrude or wild winds blow.
How many times have we seen a Dandelion heartily growing between sidewalk cracks? In spite of its conditions, this determined sprout will push through any restrictions. This gift of nature is also used in teas or herbal medicines while providing children with joy!
We, as well, need to be determined and push through rather than giving up only to face the same situation over and over. When we avoid reality or discolor perceptions, we become stagnant in denial or misconceptions. PUSH, but be flexible. REACH for the light while willing to trust the flow of life. EMBRACE all that blows our way.
