Time to sow some seeds again. I know, nature asks us to sow seeds either in spring or in autumn in order to have the best crop, and yet some plants spread their seeds at different times during the year. Nature and man seem to have very different rhythms. Humans have been trying to tame nature since we became sedentary, and yet to this day the dandelion continues to thrive wildly and often to the annoyance of the proud lawn owners.

And now you are wondering how will I connect the seeds of dandelions to the subject of the being? Well, have a think, how often seeds of knowledge of wisdom or of doubt have been sown into your psyche without ever realising that it was happening? In a similar fashion how someone with a pristine lawn does not realise that somehow from a different garden dandelion seeds have travelled and will be blooming at the earliest opportunity. How many times have you found yourself believing something as if out of nowhere, and you have not consciously realised that something got embedded? Have you sown any seeds in someone else’s psyche? Have you made someone feel “less then…” without realising; or perhaps on purpose? Have you made someone feel like a million bucks without realising; or perhaps on purpose?

With each interaction we make with another living being or inanimate object we sow a seed. We leave something of ourselves behind, and pick up something from our environment, in a constant exchange. In nature nothing gets wasted, everything is recycled, so then what makes us, human beings, so stuck with thoughts and feelings and the fear of change? Nature is not static is in constant transformation.

A plant goes to it’s natural cycle, of seed, plant, flower, some form of fruit and then seed again; and when this cycle ends and the conditions are just right, the cycle restarts. And yet as human beings we fail to notice how our own existence in a way appears of a same cycle. For us as human beings, we wake up we do our thing during the day, in the hopes that we achieve the goals we set ourselves, we hopefully acknowledge our achievements for that day (gratitude) and then we go to sleep, just to wake up again the next day and start over again. In nature the cycle can take weeks, months or years for it re re-cycle back to the beginning, for us humans is a daily occurrence – light follows dark, wakefulness follows sleep, and round and round we go. So then, why do we deny the fact that we change? What makes us so afraid that something will become different, then what we are accustomed to? What makes us hold back?

We are but seeds going through our own cycle of birth and death every day, each cell in our body, each atom goes through the same cycle every second, minute, hour, day, month year…..
