no fears

I was floating in my pool chair late Sunday afternoon, now shaded from the sun, it just peeking through the trees.
I had my libation in a tall colorful cup of pink flamingos and multicolored hibiscus flowers.
A medium blue dragonfly began buzzing close by.
He was a little frightened but very curious.
I would have to say the same for me.
I moved my colorful cup of Tequila and lemonade to rest just about at my belly button thinking perhaps this little guy would light.
If he could overcome his fear, I was willing to do the same.
He did.
We did.
His back to me, I examined his long thin wedgwood blue "tail" and copper irdescenct wings in the shaded light.
Slowly I turned my glass as he rested on the lip. His little face met mine.
We stared at each other.
For a long time.
Floating peacefully there together, two different worlds meeting on a pool chair.
His little mouth curved into a small grin with huge blue green eyes that twitched occasionally.
I wondered then what I looked like to him.
That which we both may have thought was ugly
because of our fears
was now
beautiful without fear.
I am glad my little dragonfly joined me, a lesson he brought with him that day.
Beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder
it is in eyes without fear.

    so true.
    fear has a way of making beautiful things appear ugly.

    I love this Pandi.
    Peace, Love.

    this is a beautiful sight of you and your dragonfly friend.

    one thing...

    frightened of a dragonfly?
    now stop it...
    8-)

    btw, if i were a dragonfly and some chic was in her swimming suit with some badass drink resting on her belly button... why i think i'd have to dive in... hopefully she'd be wearing hawaiian tropics tanning lotion :mrgreen:
    no fear... now quit being a girl about ;)

    a quick thanks everyone! thank you for listening
    and funny, Godfather, you should mention. I have an offer to write a childrens book, she is a customer of ours and an illustrator with a very good story line. We'll see where it goes. Of course husband says yes! and is seeing $$$$ signs.
    To bad I still have fears, kind of ironic really.
