Wonderfully "present" piece. The only way to deal with all the other nasty stuff is to notice to good stuff. Or as someone said: If you have a healthy wolf and a sick wolf, feed the healthy one. That goes for feeding thoughts as well. Keep up the hopeful thinking David!
22 years ago I had a dragonfly tattooed on my left leg just above my inner ankle bone. A gift from my tattoo artist daughter. I was her 26th piece of human canvas. It was a birthday gift from her on my fiftieth birthday. I love it still to this day. A dragonfly also represents metamorphosis. As it spends a few years under water in the larva stage before evolving to taking wing.
Lovely post. I did not know that dragonflies are believed to be the first species to fly and I love knowing that, thank you. I mentioned an ancient dragonfly in a post I wrote about the Grand Canyon. In a natural history display at the Park I saw a fossil of a dragonfly wing which had been revealed by the carving of the Colorado River. It too delighted something deep within me. They do seem very otherworldly.

Feed the healthy thoughts--I like that Dami.
Liked your post. Thank you.

To me it represents my 29 years of sobriety.
Wonderful story!
What's going on with dragonflies and mailboxes? I had the same thing happen this weekend! Maybe it's a sign?
I saw your post! Yeah. It's a dragonfly extravaganza.
“Hope riding on its wings…”. I love that. That is the biggest dragonfly I think I’ve ever seen.
I love dragonflies, too. Here in SoCal we get blue, black and orange ones. https://youtu.be/vYnCHFJ7Efw

That is incredibly cool to have discovered that!
