Only God could take a despoiled weed and turn it into an oblation! What most of us consider a nefarious lawn annoyance in reality the dandelion is a multi-talented blessed little plant! There seems no end to its charity! The dandelion has a long medicinal history going as far back to the 10th century Arabian physicians leading all the way to the Germans who brought it over to America for its nutritionally rich benefits!
The pollen from the Dandelion provides food for the bees and 93 other insects and small birds!
Dandelion root is widely known for preventing and curing liver disease such as hepatitis and jaundice. It can lower your cholesterol , reduce acid indigestion, water retention and provides vitamins , B1 , B2, B3, C and E !

So apparently, the sun really does set….on the Dandelion!
This summer season has produced an unusual amount of rain and as a result my lawn mowing routine has become increasingly demanding and frequent! What was once a fun summer chore has now grown into a dreaded horticultural enslavement!
I have a strong killer instinct toward weeds of any kind so my immediate thought was, I need to kill it! But something inside me said, no wait! So I walked over to take a closer look.
As I moved in for a close up, I was awe struck by a singular beam of light streaming through the clouds, highlighting this small almost celestial fuzzy globe of a weed! Transfixed by its star like beauty , I began to remember my previous encounters …
Hoping no one was looking, I knelt down and gently pulled the snowy white flower out from the ground and held it up to my lips…then I gently exhaled …
Like magic the tiny wispy buds caught stage on a tender breeze and ballerina danced around my face. And for a brief moment, I was reborn a child again . It was an instantaneous rendezvous modifying my perspective on yard work all together. I returned once again to my domestic task peacefully contented.
If I may suggest ….the next time you see a dandelion….well, you’ll know what to do!
