“I have lost my smile, but don’t worry, the dandelion has it.” Thich Nhat Hanh
Before Me Before me lies my field of happiness of yellow maned lions drawing down sun-filled songs of joy capturing my despair and releasing me. I stand in my field feeling loved, grounded and open to all that unfolds, knowing that these leaves may wilt, but my love will hold stronger. I wander my field witnessing hope, that ancient cycle of blown seeds travelling the broad plains of history, holding the past and present in a future. I sit in this field of smiling suns that radiate joy in the midst of all that stirs my heart and wearies my mind, offering me α wellspring οf peace.

Wonderful poem 💕 I think it expresses the essence of that awesome art work splendidly 👏

And beautiful. Ever made dandelion wine? My mom used to send us out to dig them up and then cooked them. Still love greens and of course their lifecycle is beauty itself.

Not the wine, but a “coffee” and a “tea”, very different! Yes the greens are good and I too enjoy their beauty.
