Wink A Crystaline Moment....Eye to Eye with a Dragonfly!

Have you ever had a moment in time that was complete and miraculous unto itself? Where all that you are and all that you know seemed to fade away into the distance and you concentrated all your attention on the NOW!? and the unique experiance the universe brought to you?

Here is my moment, and after, tell us yours.....we are all creatures of beauty and the universe is here for us. Our own to explore and discover...share your story!



Eye to Eye with a Dragonfly!

Where we live we are blessed to have a lot of property. We have made paths and trails through our forest and fields to drive our riding tractors on. (we have 4) It is wonderful and peaceful, full of the beauty of nature and the peace of the country.

One day I am booting along on my Deere, all of 5 miles an hour along our larger trail and out of the air zooms a dragonfly. Irridescent and stunningly beautiful, like a glittering aquamarine helicopter in the air, minute and small. This beauty zooms along and literally seems to stop in mid air....and flying backwards, looking into my eyes it pauses, keeping perfect pace with me on my Deere. I am so amazed and stunned to be in this position. It must of been 4 inches in front of my eyes. I am sure the whole experiance was meer seconds but it seemed so long. I know this wonderful being must of been saying "WTF is this big thing flying in my woods!" equally amazed to be eye to eye with me. I am amazed I kept driving straight and that I managed to look into the eyes of this dragonfly. It was brilliant and earth moving....to be eye to eye with a dragonfly!!!

Peace

I've had moments like that when hiking in the mountains. :-) Dragon flies are one of my favorite insects. Here is a pic I snapped just for you the other day while taking a walk.

peace,

Yeah, it was 1976 and some friends and I had just dropped a hit of purple mescaline about an hour before that. We were sitting in our favorite bar near the campus and I was contemplating the weave of the fabric of my jeans. It was a life altering experience.

I slip into zen by gazing at rippling water with eyes slightly unfocused, so that it appears kinda sparkly and fuzzy. I snap out of it when something interferes (like a cloud over the sun) with the light. I've been known to sit entranced by the water, without a single thought, for an hour or more at a time.

Later,
4kaan4

water...dragon flies....i love how nature can pull me out of myself to bask in presence and wonder....sometimes no chemical additives are needed to provoke the most profound states of consciousness (altered consciousness is a wonderful thing)

Default It wasn't a dragonfly but a duck

A mallard drake with it's iridescent green head. And not a tractor, a jet sled. The guys will relate to this. Not that you gals won't. My boat had a stand up console so I was standing when this was going on at 40 mph.
Early AM steelhead fishing. I was jetting down the N Fork of the ----- River in my 17 ft sled sliding around a bend and scared up a flock of mallards. They all scattered but one he stayed right over the bow of my boat. It seemed I could reach out and pet him. I tried to speed up but the darned thing looked me in the eye and sped up too. So I eased up and the duck and I tripped down the river. I ended up going way past where I wanted to stop and fish but that moment will stay with me forever. It was like I was free to fly with the duck.

Jangel thanx for the thread. I haven't thought about things like this in a loooong time. Amazing how similar things happen to folks so far apart.

There is a forest near here....old growth forest, with twisted trunks, some hit by lightening. It is a trail worn into the country side, with paths going off it to many properties. There is even an old trappers cabin. I always think I will bump into an elf or a giant. ...and I walk there through my forest to get to it....I will post some pics of it in a bit.

Peace
