"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

dare not go dear exquisite one~

As a creature of the wind,
 the dragonlfy totem represents
 change
 It's iridescent wings are
 incredibly sensitive to the slightest breeze,
 and so we are reminded
 to heed where the proverbial wind blows -
lest we run into stormy weather.

Dragonflies
are also creatures of the water,
 and any creature whose habitat is in,
 or around water 
carries symbolism
relative to the
subconscious, or "dreaming" mind and thoughts.



there are moments in my life
{i guess that happen more than i think}
that take my breath away
silence me
 to my very core

yesterday morning
i was out watering my garden
and visiting on the phone with a friend

when

{deep breath}



i saw this EXQUISITE little guy


i could no longer talk


all my thoughts
went by the wayside


Be Still My Heart


then

my camera battery died

FRUSTRATED
dissapointed
these words are an understatement
i ran inside to put it on the charger

i kept telling myself

Be Thankful
for the moment you had

you were
BLESSED
To See
To Be
so close
to such a sight

i sat down
HOPING
WISHING
my luck
 hadn't come to an end

well minutes passed
ticking slowly by

battery charged

i walked back outside

through the garden

to find

MY LUCK had not run dry


he had traveled about


yet waited for me


i walked ever so SLOWLY


greeted him

 with a
 thank you and hello


i asked for him
not to be
 afraid


such a
WISH
was granted


CLOSER
he LET me COME


i could hardly
BREATH


a single breath


as i
LOST
myself


hypnotized


EN~TRANCED
to carry away with delight, wonder, or rapture


these are those
MOMENTS


when you
realize
and
 feel
way down deep
in the roots of your soul


~what a magnificent life you live~

Thanks for another wonderful post and some great shots of the dragonfly. When I was a kid, I used to be so scared of them. Thought that thing on the back would really hurt.
