As I watched this beautiful dragonfly resting on a plant, I realized he and I share something. We both find respite in the natural world.
For me, nature is a haven. A place for introspection and rest and rejuvenation to support and inspire me in my everyday life.
As I sat quietly admiring the dragonfly, I had a thought. Perhaps there’s also a haven deep inside each of us. Our own personal quiet space we can slip into when we breathe deeply and slow our thoughts. A place of rest and rejuvenation and inspiration.
And perhaps the natural world is an outpicturing of that haven, encouraging us to explore the sacred world within.
Interesting thought…inspired by a dragonfly.
