INTRODUCTION

One day I was walking with my wife in a wooded place.

We were next to a pond where ducks swam happily. Then she

told me about the phases and lifetimes of dragonflies. As well as

the fact that she felt a strong connection with these little critters.

It awakened me deeply. Almost immediately, I told her it

was an excellent book. And I was serious. I just can't imagine

what it would be like the story.

At the time some dragonflies had entered our apartment,

arousing the attention of everyone. The interesting thing about

this event, it was only at that time then never again.

Soon we were in search of your meaning. We found

something very promising, as happiness, balance, intensity and

strength. But in fact, your mystery would take us to go other

ways of learning.

We found that the dragonfly is the adult phase of the

nymphs (larval), and lasts only a few months. Already the nymph

stage itself, a bug that live under water, can reach five years. So,

flying is only a tiny fraction of your entire existence.

It was this discovery that really moved me. I thought,

"human life itself is like this, we live most like these little

animals, immature, without even knowing the possibility of our

flight."

And it is very strong and meaningful life as a whole. For

human life, because when the Dragonfly flies, does it intensely

and definitively, because you have so little time.

The immediate symbolism of this is to live with intensity,

with all the force of our hearts and conscience. However, the

meaning of the dragonfly goes beyond, because it brings

evolution and maturity as the center of all its life process.

The book is a sensitive allegory of human life, which

shows the enormous existential challenge, where experiences,

changes and paths lead to maturity. The importance of self-

knowledge and discovery of spirituality.

This fascinating process of life shared with the others

who rebuilds and turns into something bigger.

A MESSAGE

When you have a dragonfly heart, it is a waking heart,

not even a quiet sleep.

Quick, fast, erratic, sometimes out of order, hurried,

hungry to know, thirst to live, soul with a thousand angles of

attentive eyes, everything feels, everything sees.

In essence, subtle, light, fragile, delicate. However, a

heart awake, without time to lose, is the owner of the air, of the

forests, of the waters, of the intimate life of which it chooses to

fly, of the lands and dreams where it rests when flying.

So, you have a beating heart of the dragonfly’s wings, yet

finite in your flight, infinite while being, eternal in feeling,

intense and deep in love. Even if fragile, free. And in freedom,

seeking courage as strength and faith as a guide, will.

Through the midst of the storms and delicate breezes of

life, in the midst of his flight, it treaded and follows a desire:

knowing where to land on the last day, dispensing all the pain,

all the agony. Let the end of the flight be in peace, under gentle

calm, the sleep of surrender, accomplished silence, the eternal

passage to enchanted portals.

Here I remember the Mother-Earth, the elemental beings

and their representations in this plane, especially the

dragonflies. Here I am grateful for the cardiac and autoimmune

(both this is my case), those who have life by a thread for

whatever reason. To all those who somehow feel they have a

dragonfly heart!

Life is the flight, no matter how short it may be or seem,

the important thing is to fly. Let's fly like them, the dragonflies,

absolute, living every second of the flight, always trying the best,

even if it’s never perfect, knowing that the last landing at this

resort is just a passage.

Let's fly!

1 - LIGHT ON WATER

At the bottom of a small creek were very small

creatures known as nymphs. There were also a large

number of eggs there, and these gleamed like pearls under

water.

It was a scene of the natural world pretty inspiring.

Rays of light traversed the watery surface spreading

a diffused glow within. At the same time, part of these rays

mirrored the water, producing an enlightened and vibrant

atmosphere all around.

In the water there was the movement of new beings

on all sides like pieces of a necklace riding and

dismounting alone. Or perhaps, a strange ballet revealing

unusual and graceful forms.

The aqueous medium was certainly an improbable

stage, but it provided interesting surprises. In any case,

the greatest spectacle was even that of life itself. What is

not surprising, after all, life is essentially movement.

11

Without movement there isn’t realizations, there is no

path, there is not even destiny.

An ancient sage of this people said,
