I encounter dandelions so differently now that I know they are packed with nutrition - a health food, for free, absolutely everywhere! All parts are edible and medicinal, from roots to milky stem to leaves to flowers. It was an eye-opening shift for me to move from seeing them as nuisance to welcoming their abundance! Thank you for this prompt!
Same! I think this is another story I’m learning to tell differently. My initial reaction is still stuck in the past sometimes. My first thought is that they make my lawn look ugly. I had to really retrain myself when I did no mow may, and then I learned to be grateful for the wild and for the way nature takes care of things and for the release of control. I’m constantly returning to what is true for me today.

Oh, thanks for this. That's a better story to tell myself!
