Eyebrows and Dragonflies

Dragonfly
Yesterday as I was walking at the Wild Animal Park a dragonfly came near and paused for a few seconds before darting away. I wasn't near any body of water at the time.So it was a little unusual to see a dragonfly. I have never seen one at the Park before. I was curious about what the dragonfly symbolizes. So I Googled it. Here is what I found:
The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.

I feel that this describes me and what has happened in the last year. It has truly been a transformative experience. Life certainly has deeper meaning to me. I have a sense of other dimensions and deeper levels of consciousness. I am more peaceful, having let go of the things that cause me pain and turmoil.  Im more willing to let things unfold naturally instead of trying to control.


Eyebrows
When a person has chemotherapy they usually loose every hair in their body. (It's like erasing the blackboard. )This includes eyebrows and eyelashes.    Last week my eyebrows started itching. This week I was looking in the mirror and saw that my eyebrows are coming back. This picture is with no makeup. Im still waiting for eyelashes. It turns out they have a purpose. They filter out dust. I have had some problems with getting particles of dust in my eyes. Now I know why. I will be glad when I get my eyelashes back.
Things seem like they are going back to the way they were piece by piece. Soon it will seem like nothing has changed. But everything has changed. I'm older and wiser and more at peace. Time to write on that clean blackboard.
