Dandelion
by Trina Brunk
Quick, make a wish!! Resilience, humility, adaptability, courage, depth, the ability to heal and to feed others -- these are all qualities I aspire to embody. One of my greatest teachers of all of these qualities is none other than the Dandelion-- revered by ancient Romans, treasured by early North American settlers, and respected in nearly all cultures of the world until this day when some of us will do just about anything to get rid of it -- to great detriment to other living things on the Earth. I believe that the Dandelion can teach us so much about what really matters if we just listen, and remember what our forbears knew.
