Dragonfly on the Tip of a Cattail — Image by kenne
What grandeur in this little moment:
one delicate body, one reed, one blaze of sun—
the whole wide world reflected
in the trembling water.
Fly when you will, bright one.
For now, you crown the cattail’s tip,
and the day, seeing you there,
shines more generously.

brushstroke dragonfly,
spine like a reed in wind—
the artist knew
what the marsh knows:
balance is a brief agreement

“The beauteous dragonfly’s dancing
By the waves of the rivulet glancing;
She dances here, and she dances there,
The glimmering, glittering flutterer fair.”
— Heinrich Heine

What’s this dragonfly doing?
Looks like another insect has been caught in a web,
which has got his attention.
I’m not that much of an insect expert.

He stands at the top
Just waiting for the moment
To leave in the wind.

it is called insanity.
When many people suffer from a delusion
it is called a Religion.”

Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock:
each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing,
only when everything is in place does the door open.

The Dragonfly
Today I saw the dragonfly
Come from the wells where he did lie.
An inner impulse rent the veil
Of his old husk: from head to tail
Came out clear plates of sapphire mail.
He dried his wings: like gauze they grew;
Thro’ crofts and pastures wet with dew
A living flash of light he flew.
— Alfred Lord Tennyson

I’m the dragonfly rising on the wings
of unlocked dreams
on the verge of magical things.

Just hold tight, hold tight
Time to make a decision
When and where to go.
