In Stillness It Stood

Whilst I was walking looking for interesting things to shoot, I happened to this dragonfly way, way up the top of a palm tree.  Darting in and out, the wide-eyed dragonfly was balancing itself on the tip most part of a leaf.  With my camera,  I was able to capture its stillness amidst the chaos.

It was dark and windy like a storm was to come.  Though only six in the morning, it wasn't the usual early morning sunrise that will welcome your day.  It was a cluster of grey coloured clouds draping the supposedly bright sky. 

When I was much younger, I was afraid to get out of my comfort zone.  One invite from a foreign school gave me the courage to try.  And the rest of my stories unfolded and keeps unfolding through this blog. However, the journey was not as smooth and for each year, there were struggles and hardships, even until now. 

But looking at that dragonfly who wanted to stay still on the tip of a leaf, it was balancing itself, using its wings for a leverage and stood in reverence to the earth despite the situation, and stayed there.

Whether things go smoothly or in chaotic instances, we should be ready as to absorb its consequences.  When the road towards a journey is great, we should offer our thanks.  While the path to where we are being led might be all stumble and fall, rising up and staying put make us more of a brave person.  It is what leads us to an outcome, by being bold and stronger. 

I wish to be a dragonfly, that I may be stronger in my will or maybe I am already one, as I am still standing.
