Dragonfly

Second post today? Yep. Why? I had another one of my revelations. (You'll hear about the first one later.) So, I'm playing third base in my softball game I had tonight. I'm crouched down, ready for whatever comes at me, when something flies over my head. I look up to see a dragonfly. Normally, people would be like, "Oh hey, a dragonfly, cool." and get on with their business. Nope, not me. I took one look at this dragonfly, and I watched it as it flew around, without a care in the world. It was flying around in a dangerous area, where it could potentially be hit with a softball and be squashed and dead, or have one of the softball players wack it with their gloves, again being squashed. But it didn't look at the situation like that. It was like it was telling everyone else, "I'm here, I'm gonna be here because I feel like it and I'm gonna be okay. Don't anybody try and stop me or get in my way." It's like the saying...it was as free as a bird. (haha, funny, because it's practically like a bird. I mean, wings + sky, right?) Anyway, so why can't we be more like a dragonfly? Feel free, BE free? Which brings me to my first revelation, which most of my friends have already heard about, but now it's time to share it with the world. I had this revelation not too long ago, outside of my therapy office. I was sitting, and I looked down to find a rollie pollie crawling along the gigantic road, a huge landscape for the poor fellow, known as a sidewalk. As I watched the rollie pollie slowly crawl on, I realized that, if someone as small as he could make it on the large ground, let alone the world, why couldn't I? Why can't you? We are clearly larger than he...and perhaps we can crawl along this life, maybe with several obsticles, just like my finger was for the rollie pollie, and be alright. We can survive, and we will. As long as no one smushes us. Aha.


Keep hanging in, be like a rollie pollie and get through all the obsticles you're put up against, and try to be free like a dragonfly as much as possible :)
