Not long after writing my first blog about my love for dandelions, I began to contemplate the actual "seed puff". That's my technical term--I'm sure you know what I mean! I noticed a picture one day of the seeds being blown off the puff and what struck me was the ability to see, close-up, what a single seed looks like.
Here's a little brown seed attached to it's own little white puff. I know I alluded to this in my initial writing, but how symbolic of life this became to me. The brown seed representing our physical body and the white puff, our connection to God, spirit, divine, great mystery, universe--whatever your word for it is. Floating through the air, wherever the wind takes it--we are never actually in control, as much as we'd like to believe or "play" like we are. Through our connection to God, we are led along this journey of life in very capable hands. We may rise up and fly high, only to dip down low upon the currents of the breeze, but always with the love of God supporting us.
