Dandelion New Year Wishes... 2012

A 'snowy' dandelion clock
First day of 2012! There are no bright snow flakes to cloak the darker moments of last year or to help us make a wish for this pure new year, but I'm sure that listening to some of the music from Kate Bush's latest album with this beautiful video should lead you into 2012 in great tranquility!

Failing that, you can always make a wish on a dandelion clock in order to attain the wisdom to become who or what you hope to be this year. Dandelions are perhaps in shorter supply than snowflakes at this time of year, but thankfully I can always resort to my magical clock set in resin!



No creature is fully itself till it is, like the dandelion, opened in the bloom of pure relationship to the sun, the entire living cosmos.

This is a little poem that I came across, but I can't find any details about the woman who wrote it, nor when or where it was written.

Each of Us a Snowflake

We are each of us a snowflake
No two of us the same
Reflections of the endless loving Source from which we came
Unique in form and beauty, crystalized at birth
Little flecks of heaven born to melt into the earth.

We are each of us a snowflake
Of infinite design
Transitory dancers on the widow panes of time
Unique in form and beauty, no two of us the same
Reflections of the endless loving Source from which we came.

We are each of us a snowflake
A falling star in flight
A traveler through the universe, in search of our own light
Unique in form and beauty, of infinite design
Transitory dancers on the window panes of time.
 
- Emily Warburton
