The Instant

graceful wanderers
pause in the afternoon sunlight
gone the next instant
~Sandra Lawrence, from Garden Path






The dragonfly symbolizes various things in different cultures. Like the butterfly, it can represent renewal and change. It has also been a totem of happiness, prosperity and good fortune.







In honor of my friend Ashley's birthday, I'd like to consider the dragonfly today as a reminder to capture each instant to the fullest. The dragonfly has a short life cycle, and flits so quickly from place to place. Busy and active. And yet, its beautiful iridescent wings are so light, and capture the wind. It must be adaptable and willing to alter its plan of intention and go where the wind sends it.
