Dandelions

Jesus is speaking: “If you know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more does your Heavenly Father know how to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask for Him.”

Luke 11 :13

I spent a while in the evening painting what I saw in the vase. This was what happened in the morning when I blew with one breath.

I saw a pattern of the air made by the echanese (seeds from a dandelion) each with their own pappuz of fine hair-like material. They had flown gently and landed. Some had gotten stuck on the stem. Their perfection was enticing.

Space is the breath of art.

Frank Lloyd Wright 1867 – 1959 American architect, designer, writer. He believed in what he called “organic architecture – harmonizing humanity and the environment.”

Flying and using what we cannot see to carry us has taken courage. Amelia Earhart , an American aviation pilot, showed this courage by being the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic ocean,  and then paid the ultimate price for what she loved. She disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the world.  I was interested that this lady made the following statement about peace.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

Easter time ,a celebration of two courageous acts. One by God, in giving His son to die and secondly Jesus’ own courage to take on the sins of the World  for me to have peace. This peace now functions through the Holy Spirit. We can not see it, but like the wind, we can see the patterns it makes in people’s lives.

Below is my enjoyment of the spread/pattern of blown dandelion seeds.

Bob Dylan wrote a song with some rhetorical questions to which he gave an impenetrably ambiguous answer:

” My friend, the answer is blowing in the wind.” Please press on his answer to hear this song.
