Milkweed Seeds

The explosive, silken milkweed seed creates its own natural fireworks show as the sun's rays are captured in each filament.
Are you able to move into childlike wonder and amazement at such a display...finding yourself with a wide smile stretched across your face?! Step out and enjoy the show.

We spend so much time chasing the American dream, collecting money and things to fill those voids, or following the robotic path laid before us called success.  Sometimes, events slice through our hypnotic trance and allow us to see outside the veil.  We then become ardent seekers, delving into our spiritual practice with renewed passion akin to when we began our schooling or career path.  We tend to have early successes and awakenings, which further stimulates the need to pursue and find the truth...unaware that we have traded one master for another, and that there are infinite realities unfolding like the lotus blossom.

Somewhere along the way, we have forgotten the earlier times of our lives when life was about imagination and creating and tearing down worlds.  Where friends were made in the blink of an eye and fights occurred and were forgotten in the same beat of a hummingbird's wing.  There weren't goals or objectives or deadlines...there just was and each day unfolded into the next chapter of a limitless and abundant universe where we could be and do anything we wanted because there was no one and nothing to tell us otherwise.  We were Gods and Goddesses in the truest sense.

So, release your burdens, let go of the word can't, play with wild abandon and forgive just as easily, like a feather in the wind.  True magic and mastery can be found in the children and the elderly who have remembered...who have stepped away from the illusion of the chase and become the chased.
