A Dragonfly Landed On My Head

[Call Me Whatever]

I was admiring the stunning complexity and beauty of a dragonfly the other day. After a couple minutes I stood to give it space. The dragonfly then buzzed like a hummingbird at my shoulder for maybe 10 seconds before flying up to my head and landing on it. 

Of course I then ruined the moment by taking a photo of it, rather than accepting the experience in the now. I believe this situation, and other instances like it, occur because of higher consciousness in myself. This creature sensed I wasn't a threat. 

Another time, about a year ago, I found a dragonfly caught in a spider's web. I carefully detached it, making sure not to damage its wings. When I freed it, I placed in on the ground where it sat for a few moments before taking off and flying around me in circles for about 20 to 30 seconds. 

Both were amazing experiences.
