A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.~James Lowell~
What makes a weed different from a flower, except the way we view it?
A dandelion shows us a sunny yellow flower in no way inferior to a daisy or a zinnia. Then the flower magically becomes a fluffy white ball, disappearing with the gentlest breeze. Can a zinnia do that?
All of us have weeds in our life-difficult tasks, difficult people, difficult times. Maybe we can learn to see these things as flowers instead of weeds and enjoy rather than dread them.
We enjoy seeing a field covered with dandelions. Let us try as well to enjoy the metaphorical weeds in our lives. We may be surprised at the beauty and charm we find.
