The Prompt
Life finds a way.
Ian Malcom (played by Jeff Goldblum) in Jurassic Park
The music is "Dandelion Wine" by Blackmore's Night from "Ghost of a Rose"
This Is The Way
When I am on my walks I often see plants growing on roofs and other places where there is no soil, and I wonder how the hell they manage to grow.
I am no scientist but I would think that a plant would need nutritious soil to grow in, but a wall?
Look at that dandelion, how does it live? Maybe it gets moisture when it rains and then, along with photosynthesis, it manages to grow, and flourish.
I have seen this dandelion over a couple of days and this story has given me a reason to write about it. We often see moss on stonework, but this is a fully fledged plant.
I have seen small trees growing in similar situations.
I don't know how it happens, but life always finds a way....

It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Life Awakening When It Comes To Hobbies Is There Such A Thing
When things get awakened in terms of hobbies and living, what happens? What happens when life is awakened by hobbies? Well you get so much more out of your life and the way you live it because you do the things that you enjoy. Now I know life isn’t all about doing the things you enjoy but if you are doing a job that you really enjoy that makes you money how does that make you feel? Think about that, how would doing a job that you really enjoy and getting paid for it make you feel? It makes you feel lively and as though anything is possible you get excited to do the job and it brings you so much joy when doing it. When Life is awakened what is it that happens? Well you see your life in an entirely different light. It's not just getting up, going to work, coming home and doing it all over again. There is some down time in there where you do the things that you enjoy to calm your mind and bring you peace.

It is amazing how a tiny seed can grown where it is least expected. Congratulations Mike well deserved a Top Story 💙✍️🏆
I see this all the time and it always amazed me. Thankfully Seema gave us the details on how this happens — still a magical sight though. Nice photo! Congratulations on your Top Story 🎉🎊🎉
It's hard, but can be done. Root produces enzyme to absorb from the brick. They can take moisture from air too.
Congrats, Mike!
Wow.
And congratulations on the top story! 🥳
It’s incredible, right? Wildflowers are like special creatures with special superpowers.
Your deep experience on it.
Congratulations, Mike. This definitely fits into the category of "Things that make your head hurt."
Indeed, life always finds a way. We grow, even in the most painful situations. Congrats, Mike!
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
Congratulations on your top story! It’s amazing how something as simple as a dandelion can remind us of resilience and the quiet power of life.
And eventually manages to crack us up in such a way that even the stoniest of facades simply crumble.
I love that you think this! Also it’s sort of inspiring really that they can do this! 😀
That sure is such a strong will to live. Loved it!
I love dandelions. Great piece Mike!
It's a colourful splash of resilience isn't it 😊
Yes, life does find a way, doesn't it <3 Love the positivity of this
