There is nothing like a bit of personification to make one re-examine one's prejuduces. I spend too much of my time in the garden uprooting dandelions to class myself as a fan...but this little piece will certainly temper my frustration when I resume my assault on those pesky weeds.

For if one were to flee instead of planting themselves, nothing becomes resolved. It is the job of the dandelion to plant firming in the ground where their little plumes fall. As it is our job to stand firm and face diversity when we come face to face with it.

Lovely write Vivian

Love and Light

those 'gathering clouds' are the essence
of this work, Vivian, and yet you celebrate,
rightly so, ephemeral fragility;
such fine and refined thinking!

I found something in your poem that stands out in my eyes; and that is: "clouds are gathering/and you must flee". For today, that seems applicable to people, too. The idea of flying "...away drifting/until danger has/passed...." It seems soothing to apply these words to our own dandelion selves:) A wwwhhhh of a delicate writing. Thank you. ~~ Diana

There is always that old standby, Vivian, stand and fight, or if you must, stand your ground. There are times when retreat is feasible, and during those time, run . . . run fast.
