Dragonflies, blooms, and the magic of connection

I was just with Lexi. And the dragonflies. Oh man, the dragonflies. I noticed three or four right off the bat that were, it looked like they were working together to corral insects. I have no idea if that's actually what was happening, but it looked like it. And they stayed right near where I was standing. They kept kind of zooming out and then they would come back and circling around me and going out and coming back. It felt like they were dancing for me and showing off for me and letting me know that they knew I was there and they were intentionally showing me the connection, the magic, and that we're all part of it. Me included, them included.

And I walked on and noticed how the warm breeze felt against my hair and against my skin and how hot the sun felt and how the breeze was a bit of a balm from the sun. And then I walked over to the gardenia bush that's been blooming. But y'all, it had, I think it was 11 blooms. Is it blooms or blossoms? I think it depends on the type of plant it is. Whichever. Beautiful. I can smell them standing feet away from them. But of course I put my nose right up into each of them and said hello and thanked them because I am so grateful that the plant has come back after the storm and is doing so well and is blooming.

And then I walked around to the other plant that was actually dying, really was not doing well at all. And my husband put some neem oil on it a couple of different times and we fertilized it and gave it some coffee grounds under the soil and watered it really well. And we're just trying to nurse it back to health and help it fight off the gunk that had been trying to take it over. And there were two fully open blooms on it with another two buds just opening. I could have fallen over. Oh, the magic. Things can come back to life that we thought were for sure dead. For sure dying. For sure beyond us. They can come back. And they can provide magic. They are magic. We are all magic. There is magic. It's real. This connection with something bigger, something more, it's real. I want to remember. I want you to remember.
