He discovered his hands a while ago but tonight he rolled over for the first time both front to back and back to front. Which kind of makes me wonder if this is not a new trick for him but rather a well "hidden" trick. He probably is taking it easy on me since I swear it goes by faster and faster with each baby. Kain even asked if Moms really get that excited about such little things, which any mom knows that answer is of course YES! Maybe he just thought I was one of the weird ones... which okay I probably am but not about this.
So here is what it has to say about Dragonfly...
"Dragonfly and Damselfly
Keynote: The Power of Light
...For many it is difficult to tell the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly. Dragonflies have broad bodies and enormous eyes. Damselflies are more slender and delicate. When Dragonflies are at rest, they hold their wings out like a glider. Damselflies will fold their wings over their backs when at rest...
...If a Dragonfly has shown up in your life, you may need some fresh air in regard to something emotional. You may need to gain a new perspective or make a change. It may even indicate that you are neglecting your emotions. Are you being too rational about everything? Are you not keeping the color of emotions alive?
Dragonflies are very territorial. They will lay their eggs within their territory near the water. The egg eventually develops into the nymph stage of metamorphosis in this insect, and remains as a nymph for almost two years before it transforms into an adult Dragonfly or Damselfly. This can reflect a number of possibilities for those with this totem. It can indicate that an approximate two-year period of change is about to reach its culmination. It may reflect that you are coming into a two-year period of transformation. It may even reflect a need to institute changes that may culminate in the colorful transformations you desire within a two-year period. Only by examining your life and activities will you begin to understand its specific role...
...Although they have color pigment in their skin, for most the colors are caused almost the same way rainbows form. Structures in their shell scatter and refract the light, making them iridescent green and blue. As they age, they may pass through several color changes. This ability to reflect and refract light and color has caused it to be associated with many forms of magic and mysticism-including color magic, illusion (causing others only to see what you wish), and more. Dragonfly's magic is the power of light and all that has ever been associated with it.
Dragonflies and Damselflies are often depicted in Japanese paintings, representing new light and joy. To some Native Americans, they represent the souls of the dead. Some stories speak of the time in which they used to be real dragons....
...The Dragonfly and Damselfly reflect and work with the sun and light. The light changes throughout the day. The Dragonfly and Damselfly undergo their own transformations. If they have shown up, look for change to occur. Are you resisting change when you shouldn't? Dragonflies remind us that we are light and can reflect the light in powerful ways in we choose to do so. 'Let their be light' is the divine prompting to use the creative imagination as a force within your life. This is part of what Dragonflies and Damselflies teach us.
Life is never quite the way it appears, but it is always filled with light and color. Dragonfly can help you to see through your illusions and thus allow your own light to shine forth. Dragonfly brings the brightness of transformation and the wonder of colorful new vision."
