Communing with Mother Nature

While out walking the pup earlier in the day, 3 Blue dasher dragonflies appeared. I love dragonflies and have had many interesting interactions with them. I even witnessed one as it hatched and unfolded its wings to dry before taking off from the dock. 

While sitting around a pond at a winery with a friend, a Flame Skimmer with its bright orange wings landed on the armrest of my chair. I spoke with it for awhile until I started getting hot in the sun. I told the dragonfly that I needed to move into the shade. I stood up and moved to a different chair. The dragonfly flew up and perched itself on the armrest of my new chair. Even when I got up a bit later to stand near the pond, the Flame Skimmer flew next to me. My new friend. 

One thing I've learned from dragonfly is to pay attention to 'things' coming to the surface. I indeed feel a shift in the air, so while working in my yard yesterday, I decided to listen; changing my frequency to a higher level in hopes of receiving more messages from mother nature.

I usually see the Blue dasher - especially when hiking in the foothills, but my true love is the Flame skimmer. Any time she stops by, I get excited and am like a child with a really big grin on my face. 

Yesterday was no different. While working in my flowerbed in the front, Flame skimmer stopped by and kept me company for quite awhile; flying up close to check me out and then back to the middle of the yard. I think she was supervising my weeding. 

I saw her fly near the rain barrel, so I thought maybe she needed a drink. I wanted to pull some water for my flower bed, so I thought I'd let some water escape the hose for her to drink from also. 

When I walked to the rain barrel, I watched as Dragonfly flew back to the middle of the yard. I turned my gaze back down towards the rain barrel and at the surface where the screen touched the water was a message, loud and clear - LOVE!

May your day be filled with new curiosity, joy and love!
Namaste
