"I am... a mushroom; On whom the dew of heaven drops now and then"
- John Ford
About this Quote
This quote by John Ford is a metaphor for the human experience. It speaks with the idea that we are all little and insignificant in the grand plan of things. We are like mushrooms, residing in the shadows and typically neglected. We are susceptible to the impulses of fate, and the dew of heaven, or the blessings of life, can come and go without warning. The quote speaks with the idea that life is unpredictable and that we need to accept the excellent and the bad that comes our way. It likewise talks to the concept that we must be modest and accept our place on the planet. We are little and irrelevant, however we can still make a difference in our own lives and in the lives of those around us. We need to be grateful for the blessings that come our way, and accept the difficulties that come with life.
