dandelion love

I have fallen all over in love with dandelion!

the lion that wakes you in spring

I squatted next to dandelion

waiting for permission

to uproot him. Holy work

digging deep               loosening

the soil. I gently pull & feel how one being

gives itself      

into my hands. The dirt around

holy also. Some of it will make it into the tea pot

& I am becoming        wilder

freer

earth dance

wild bold dandelion

blossom           velvet

to the touch. My tongue traces each petal

taking you in               chewing you

slowly              so sweet. Whispers

of independence & connectedness

reaching me from

so close & still I can’t

grasp it
