Weeds in My Garden

There is nothing more magical than the curiosity of a young boy outside picking dandelions for his mother. While gathering the beautiful yellow flowers, his curiosity turns to delight, as he discovers a perfectly formed ball of tiny seeds wavering in the wind. Suddenly, the beautiful flowers don't mean much anymore. He quickly drops them to the ground and picks up the small ball of magic. Perhaps he should make a wish before exhaling and sending the wavering seeds to their new destination. One, two, three, whooooooh--they are off! Their newfound fate yet to be determined by the wind. The boy jumps up with excitement, claps his hands together and smiles proudly, amazed at his wonderful accomplishment. Little does he know that the seeds he set free will soon turn to weeds in someone else's garden.

We are all gardeners planting seeds of thought every day.
