Sleepless Nights


What is it about sleepless nights? Sure, they can be frustrating...but on a night like tonight, it's my mind going a mile a minute in speed. My thoughts are interlaced, as if they were a finely crafted network of silky-spun spiderweb. My thoughts are tricky...fast, but then slow without any kind of notice. I suppose it's because I am allowing myself to BE in the moment. That's why nights like this don't have to be frustrating. They are good, and welcoming for the soul. We need these precious few spaces in time to get to know ourselves...allow for free-flowing thought (say that fast 3 times), and to work out in our minds any issues or dilemmas we have before us.
I'm choosing to embrace this process in me. I believe it is signaling a time of transformation and growth.

"The main symbolisms of the dragonfly are renewal, positive force and the power of life in general. Dragonflies can also be a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity. Also, as a creature of the wind, the dragonfly frequently represents change. And as a dragonfly lives a short life, it knows it must live its life to the fullest with the short time it has – which is a lesson for all of us."
