Jan 15.

Haven't been at this thing for a few days. Have been away to put in time with a friend who just had THE prostate operation. All will be ok and was happy to do the visit.
Got home yesterday to an amazing change in the weather, sunny and 15C at 12:30 and right now at16:45 it is 10C an raining. Played inter -club short mat today, we won both our games mainly thanks to M who is really getting to be quite good at the game.
No poetry again, I don't think its any good anyway so not a hard decision, instead I'll add another little thing  that I wrote a while back.


MESSENGERS

Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you are sitting, maybe out side or perhaps inside looking out, that quite often a dragonfly will come right up in front of you and hover there for a moment or even several moments?  Have you ever wondered why?  If you didn’t wonder why, did you think, ‘ that’s odd’ and then perhaps you tried to shoo it away?  Perhaps you have never yet had one of those experiences, but one day you shall!  Look forward to that day and others to follow for each time it happens, you are being treated to a special moment in your life.

I used to think that perhaps a dragonfly was a soul that had lost its way.  If that was so why would it come to me?  Why should souls lose their way and why would they choose to be a bug?  Have you ever seen a dragonfly mashed onto the front of a car?  Would a soul allow itself to be treated like that?  Not likely!

If you have ever been visited by a dragonfly, have you ever noticed that while they hover there, a thought or a memory of someone who you loved or was close to you, suddenly or perhaps slowly, grows in your “minds eye”?  If that has happened, have you also noticed that no sooner is the thought or memory formed, the dragonfly will dart away and disappear?  Why?  Well perhaps some dragonflies are chosen by the spirits to deliver messages or to be a bridge to memories hidden away in our minds.  They dart away when their job is done, perhaps to deliver your thought to the spirit that sent them.

Is every dragonfly a messenger?  I don’t know, probably not; but those that are not could be waiting to be called upon.  Do we all get the message when these tiny messengers arrive?  Also probably not, but if you allow yourself to believe…………………..!
