I am right now, thoroughly captivated by dandelions and mushrooms.

 1. The resilience in their structure, dumbfounds me. They evolve and ensure their survival even in the harshest of conditions.

 2. The incomprehensible ease with which they grow, excites me.

– Dandelions – They can grow in almost any soil condition. They can also tolerate frost, heat, and crowding

– Mushrooms – Growing mushrooms is an easy, family-friendly project requiring little space and no gardening experience

 3. The way they contribute to humanity amazes me.

– Mushrooms – They can take some toxic substances and process them as food. They are literally toxin-transformers. They provide important nutrients, including selenium, potassium, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin D, proteins, and fiber. Besides a long history as food source, they are important for their healing capacities.

– Dandelions spread, proliferate and thrive in a new environment easily manifesting their essential qualities which is again healing and detoxifying the human body.

 Inspite of exposure to harsh conditions and toxicity, both Mushrooms and Dandelions, live their function, that is ‘To Heal’. Amazing, isnt it?

 Now this realisation makes me ask, as humans, what is our function in the universe?

 My observation? When we are engaged in acts of love, we humans are at our best and most resilient.

– The love of community makes us work tirelessly.

– The love in romance makes us want to be better people

– The love of children makes us change our whole lives to meet their needs

– The love of family makes us drop everything to take care of them even if they have broken our hearts

 If love were the central practice, relationsips won’t be seen through tactical eyes of war, but as fertile grounds full of potential. We would experience amazing stories in the communities we live in.

 We would want to

– listen,

– support,

– collaborate,

– merge and

– grow through fusion, not competition.

 With love, prayers, and exceptional wishes,
