In this site's view, who noticed it? Stopping yourself: your eye for small joys is returning. Someone handing you one: your quiet worth is seen. Growing where it may be crushed: check that you are not always putting yourself last.
Going deeper: our reading
The poet Basho wrote of being drawn to violets at his feet while walking a mountain path, a sensibility that finds depth not in showy blooms but in small roadside flowers. Violet seeds also carry tiny food bodies that ants love, and as ants carry them to their nests the plants spread far. In this site's reading, the dream reflects an eye that notices the value of inconspicuous things and bonds that spread thanks to small helpers. Crouching to gaze at violets suggests your heart wants to pause for small joys missed in busy days. Violets blooming in cracks in stone walls or concrete show a strength that finds a place to belong somewhere unexpected. This is our speculation, but noticing ants coming and going around the violets means your small deeds are being carried and spread by others without your knowing.
