My Dragonfly And Me


If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!


By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone


On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...


And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...


Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

BRATT!

[WayzataJOHNN]

Centering

arc of a steel soul
footsteps on a ceder floor
misting winter breath

Under the dark trees spread
demands of meditation

A mind one with all
in an old temple this night
awaiting the dawn

[WayzataJOHNN]

I are, aren’t I!?!

I think the video was funny, and he HAD told her not to play with the gun, and she didn’t pay attention. Such inattention to gun information and teaching leads to way too many accidents every year!

At least she will have a mental reminder that guns are not toys and aiming one and playing with things like hammers and safeties and triggers could just as easily have made a ‘bang’ noise too, but perhaps with a far more sadder result then a need to change her shorts!

I often teach young shooters, and many of them young women, and you’d be surprised how many of them treat a gun loaded or empty like a cap pistol in spite of the training! while the gal gets a right fright, she will never play with a gun again and that in the long run may make her a better shooter and a safer one.
