once trapped in the mud
dragonfly leads way to lotus
my spirit blossoms


mud to lily pad
climbing out of murky past
to enlightenment

  3. I saw a fossilized dragon and one of those flying things that begins with a pt on display at Museum of Natural History in DC last weekend. Lots of nautilus which is a spiritual symbol but don't recall a dragonfly...other bugs. I know that's now what you meant. But I did!

    1. I love museums - but my children get bored of me reading all the plaques :)

      It's lovely to see what once felt stuck in the mud is now a thing of wonder for us.

      ...or just a fossil, depending on your frame of mind lol :)

  6. Enlightenment is a climb, or so I've heard; I myself have never gotten there! :)

    Perhaps a Lotus
