Today I find myself thinking about dandelions. Some see them as weeds, stubborn and unwanted, but I see them as teachers. They push through cracks in sidewalks, spring up in the hardest soils, and open their faces to the sun without apology. They remind us that life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful.

There’s hope in the way a dandelion scatters its seeds. What looks like loss is really a new beginning—a letting go that makes space for more life, more color, more possibility. We may not know where those seeds will land, but we trust that some will take root and grow.

Maybe that’s the lesson for today: that even in times of struggle or uncertainty, we carry within us the power to spread light and resilience. Just like the dandelion, our impact often goes further than we realize. A kind word, a small act of love, a moment of courage—it drifts outward, unseen but alive.

I want to remember that hope is not fragile. It is tenacious. It takes root in the most unlikely places. And sometimes, the things we dismiss as ordinary—like a humble dandelion—are the ones carrying the deepest wisdom.

Such a beautiful day! https://mwilliamsart.com/64days/2024/10/1/september-14-2024
