The Dandelion is one of many Eurasian imports to the Chicagoland garden. Considered a weed because of its prolificacy in this environment. It is revered by children and salad lovers; for these persons it is a welcome community member. This image shows the stages of life for the beloved and/or detested Dandelion.

I look at this fall image and think
Of maturing, ripening possibilties
Seeds are quietly forming
New cycles of life
New changes for growth
New changes for change
New possibilities
Others may see a final sequence
Others may see the end
Others may see farwell
Others feel dispair, hopelessness
Remember life is rich
In cycles of possibilities
Look for the seeds of hope in
Your life
Look for the possibilities that others
Cannot yet see.
Look for future miracles.
Harvest those seeds and nuture
Possibilities.
