"Green Darner Dragonflies are the largest and fastest-flying dragonflies in North America. They often travel in swarms or families, and they are most often found near sources of water. Symbolically dragonflies are revered as symbols of wisdom, change, transformation, and adaptability in life. In many cultures, they are also seen as carriers of light and joy, signifying positivity and the presence of loved ones who have passed on. Reflecting on my own life's journey, I find solace in drawing inspiration from the dragonfly. Its ability to maneuver through obstacles and its unwavering resilience in the face of challenges serve as a poignant reminder that we, too, can navigate the complexities of life with grace and determination."
