      Thanks. It’s funny how different people perceive the same thing. For example, I kinda really disliked how I ended it. But it might grow on me. Lol

    Matt, the phrase “natural dopamine uppers” feels especially fresh to me—it hits that perfect mix of science and sensation. There’s a breezy intimacy in this that really draws me in…

      Thanks. I like science and I like nature (well, occasionally I don’t but mostly I do lol) so seemed natural to put a bit both in there.

    Matt, this is an intellectual look at the interplay of nature: self-seeding and forever replenishing (when left to do what it does). We discount many of the positives that weeds possess. A delightful read!

    I appreciate the difficult rhymes you’ve worked with here! I think the last two lines also work well but they are quite straightforward compared with the first four lines. Good stuff.

    loving on this! reminds me of the quote by Thich Nhat Hanh, “I have lost my smile, but don’t worry, the dandelion has it.”
