To a young child, or those young at heart, the dandelion is beauty, love, endearing whimsy and hope. To the gardener, it is a beacon to necessary bees and its prolific lifespan is an example of nature’s authority, contributing to ecological sustainability. The health-conscious recognize the influence of the dandelion’s contributions to health and the body. To me, the humble dandelion showcases the uncovering of beauty where you may not have recognized it before, harnessing strength hidden deep inside, creating significance from something that was otherwise trivial, and ultimately, it represents my wish to offer patients the care and attention they deserve.
