Yesterday, I was feeling a bit bummed out about domestic & geopolitical crap. I was pruning my cucumber plants, while thinking & hoping that more folks will not only understand why ordinary citizens need to fight back against their governments but also decide to go beyond simply understanding to step into taking more resistance actions - directly or indirectly.
That's when nature provided me of a beautiful reminder that hope arrives, when we need it. A gorgeous dragonfly flew close to me. First, it landed on my hair side ponytail & stared at me for almost a full 30 seconds. Then, it flew over to a nearby trellis & perched there, staring at me, for over a minute. Then, I watched it fly off & eat a mosquito, in mid-air. I don't have photos because I was trying to stay very still, during that entire dragonfly visit. That serendipitous dragonfly encounter helped to remind me that nature tends to deliver some hope-filled beauty, when we need it most. Nature is endlessly, serendipitous 💚
