Do you know how a dragonfly is born? Oh, this is a real parable and an ode to transformation! Sit back, let's get comfortable, here we go, stage number
1. Nymph At first, it has nothing in common with that luxurious winged creature whose flight we so love to watch on a sunny summer day. For the first few years, or even decades, it looks more like an inconspicuous cockroach. It crawls along the bottom of the pond, burrows into the mud, and generally represents a different biological species, but one day the thought comes into its chitinous head that everything can be different.
2. The Way Up And then it finds a stem and begins to climb up it. Perhaps the stem will be too short and will not lead it out of the water, or too thin, or something else will interfere. But at this moment it doesn't matter, and she, obeying her instinct, simply moves upward, hoping that her dragonfly gods will be kind to her.
3. Monster And here she is above the surface of the water, a pleasant breeze is blowing, the sun is warming, and everything seems to be fine. But then she notices how her shell is starting to burst. And some new creature, still quite alive, begins to crawl out of it. Surely at this moment she is in great pain and really wants to climb back to her usual bottom. But there is no turning back.
4. Vulnerability A young and still weak dragonfly with tangled wet wings sits on a blade of grass. She needs a few hours to dry out, to realize who she is and what she can do now. At this moment she is already too bright to remain unnoticed and not become very easy prey for birds or other predatory creatures. She is scared. But all she can do at this moment is wait, and dry up, and pray to her dragonfly gods.
5. Flight And finally, the first flap of her wings, the first feeling of her strength in a completely new quality for her. She spreads them and flies away, wherever her faceted eyes look. And even if she will live in this form for only a maximum of a few months, but each time she prefers this breath of freedom to long years of crawling on the bottom.
Perhaps it is according to this same scenario that a soul is born in this world every time. And it is certainly according to this scenario that we live our lives. And each time we return, if we have not managed to go through all the stages.
And no matter which one you recognize yourself in now, just remember that nature itself has laid it in us to one day spread our wings. And fly…
