There are lots of reasons to be dismayed by the state of human civilisation, and lots of reasons we can find for our faith in human goodness to be shaken. Man’s inhumanity to man. Our own pettiness and flaws, that seem intractable. Futile and protracted wars, with no true victors and countless innocent victims.
When i think of hope this time of year i feel dandelion medicine right with me, the illumination of the dazzlingly bright yellow as it shines its light forth, in full flower. but most of all i am reminded of the dandelion because its lets go of itself and disperses knowing that we will land where we land. that some seed will be victim to circumstance, false promises and failure. And that it's not the future that we hope for, but instead the act of living.
