Seeing Vegan

It's only my second month being vegan, but already I'm seeing the world in a new perspective. It's the beginning of spring here and everything is this beautiful, bright green. Tulips are already up and a tree next door is already dropping its seeds. On the way to class I saw a few dandelions reaching out of the ground.

Normally, the sight of dandelions would lead me to think about what a pesky weed it was, or childhood days making wishes and blowing their seeds about. Today, I saw dandelions and thought, "I should gather their leaves and make a salad."
