When we were kids, whenever we see dandelion seeds, we’d chase after these. When we catch at least one of these, we’d make a wish and then blow on it to make it fly again. If the wind catches it and carries it off, we believed that our wish would come true. If it doesn’t, well, there’s always the next dandelion seed or star to wish upon again.

Seeing this picture reminds me of the innocence of children. Who else would believe that a seed has the capacity to bring with it a child’s wish, let alone making it come true? It’s simply amazing how much we can believe on things as kids. Sometimes, it makes me think, though. Is it better to grow up and see the harsh reality of the world, or be a perpetual child and still believe on things that others might see as impossible?
