There is no quit in a Dandelion. And no stopping them. They come up in the cracks of sidewalks and through the roadways of hot asphalt. Smiling and waving in the breeze. They have wanting and caring figured out. They know it is possible to want the wrong things for the wrong reasons in the wrong ways. And that it is possible to want the right things for the right reasons in the right ways. That comes down to Right Wanting and Wrong Wanting.
They understand the same thing about caring. It is possible to care about the wrong things in the wrong ways for the wrong reasons. And it is possible to care about the right things in the right ways for the right reasons. Right Caring and Wrong Caring make all the difference in our lives and in the world. Right wanting and Wrong Wanting make the world what it is and what it can yet be.
If we live in the service of the right kind of wanting and the right kind of caring, we will be aligned with the Tao of Life and Being, and we will spend our life doing the right things in the right ways, at the right time, in the right place, and that is all it takes to make the world a better place, so why waste another minute not doing it that way? Not even a Dandelion can do better than that!
