Dandelions Aloft
The First Dandelion by Walt Whitman 
Simple and fresh and fair from winter’s close emerging, 
As if no artifice of fashion, business, politics, had ever been, 
Forth from its sunny nook of shelter’d grass—innocent, golden, calm as the dawn, 
The spring’s first dandelion shows its trustful face.
Have you ever sat and watched the flight of a dandelion? It’s been researched, they can go 100km, see here. Click here for edible uses. Did you know they come in purple? Click here. Fully shaped Faroese shawl with all the fun of a dandelion.
