the dandelion

I am persuaded by the dandelion

to take the wings of the updrift

to parachute into enemy country

to fall to the ground

to be walked upon

to love beauty

to die

and so give birth

to a whole generation of flyers

    Ok I never comment for fear of saying something lame like “yes I wholeheartedly agree with dan”- but… I thought that was really beautiful!
    And therefore I was moved to comment.
    Despite the risk of lameness.

    There is nothing wrong with wholeheartedly agreeing with me, you know that.

    There are far worse people to wholeheartedly agree with than Dan, infact I am one of them. Was nice to see you Dan even though we didn’t get a chance to talk. Thanks for the word definition too.

    You are most welcome, Rev. Sorry that we didn’t get a chance to chat - I was dead on my feet. Catch you next time.

    All a little difficult for Rev to understand these dynamics in the Phil/Dan/Lucy (+Joe) matrix.
