Whilst on a short trip to Croghan, NY, I saw HUNDREDS of these milkweeds that had gone to seed. The light was hitting them in such a way that they almost glowed against the background of the gray and dreary forest road. They reminded me of something. They reminded me, (at a time when I REALLY NEEDED to be reminded) that there is always something beautiful, you just need to open up your eyes and look around for it.
It's been really hard to do that lately. So many things seem to be getting to me. The change in the weather. The difficult days at work. The hard times at home. The constant berating from someone. It all just gets so heavy. It was difficult to see the light with so much piled up.
This tiny little milkweed with its beautiful process of reprodcution, standing strong against the impending winter, absorbing as much sunlight as possible just reminded me to SEEK the sunlight.
