Suzanne CollinsWhat I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again.
About This Quote
The dandelion is not the flower of death, but the flower of rebirth. The dandelion reminds us that change is inevitable, yet it is also part of the cycle of life. Life moves forward. Everything dies and is replaced.
We are here to experience life, to learn and grow. Dandelions come back year after year in a season when there should be no flowers. The dandelion teaches us that if we want to live in the present, then we must live in the past and in the future as well.
