I chose the dragonfly because it wears transformation like proof that change can be another arrival, not a departure from yourself.
It has known water and air, so I made depth my strength, possibility my sky, and clarity the light that lets truth show its whole face.
Its freedom to turn without turning against itself became the way I move through life.
I admired its courage, resilience, joy, and self-realization until admiration became adaptation, and adaptation became embodiment. Now I do not watch transformation pass me by—I wear its meaning from the inside out. Author Lucyalia
