I took this picture with my PDA at the retreat last weekend on one of my walks. This picture turned out better than the one I deleted. I took that one of the sidewalk. I had trouble with the sun over my shoulder; pretty good excuse. Initially, I was disappointed because this dragonfly posed and was cooperative, but, in retrospect, the title says it all.
The retreat was a great experience. I reminded my self that it is OK to be imperfect. I am human with that. The dragonfly showed up and shared a quiet moment with me and for that I am grateful.
He lit down oh so gently
He posed oh so perfectly.
I heard him say;
I really did!
“Take my picture please
My time almost done
This serves as my memorial.”
I took his picture
He stood so still
Posed gratefully.
Once done, he took his leave
Both our jobs nearly done.
