Dragonflies.
Where do I start with these amazingly beautiful and delicate creatures.
Well maybe I should say that they are hugely significant and comforting to me and my life.
My grandfather died when I was living in Scotland. He was an amazing person and before I left Australia, we came to an understanding.
I agreed to explore the world fearlessly, like he had taught me. And if the worst was to happen I was not, absolutely NOT, to come home. He was adamant.
So when the worst did happen, I honoured our agreement and didn't go home.
It was one of the hardest decisions of my life.
So on the day of his funeral, I was sitting staring at this incredible view of the highlands, (and not seeing it you know?), when this pair of dragonflies buzzed around me.
And they kept me company for close to four hours. Unheard of. Unbelievable. Utterly Symbolic.
Later, I found out that dragonflies symbolise rebirth and since that day, dragonflies constantly pop up in my life when I am contemplating, or facing a rebirth of sorts.
I take them to mean I am on the right track, and when I see them I feel such a sense of peace and comfort.
Do you have any reoccurring symbols or animal totems in your life that pop up when you need them the most? I would love it if you shared them below.
Have a great weekend.
