Comments on: Dragonflies http://laura.moncur.org/archives/2003/09/19/2003-09-19-11-43/ The personal blog of Laura Moncur Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:29:25 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Sonya http://laura.moncur.org/archives/2003/09/19/2003-09-19-11-43/#comment-323170 Sonya Sun, 11 Dec 2011 11:51:08 +0000 /?p=1963#comment-323170 <p>For the last 10 years dragonflies have come to me in the most unexpected away. Living in the City of Sydney Australia they are not common. I remember having a morning shower and a Dragonfly joining me. On telling my mother she said my Dragonfly obsession had to stop, till the next morning when I caught it and showed her. One day while contemplating would I ever find a partner I looked up and saw two Dragon Flies dancing under the street light. Not long after I met my husband. I was recently contemplating should I have a child when 3 Dragon Flies came towards my windscreen, well that was my answer. Last night on my own as my husband is away working a Dragonfly appeared in my lounge room. My friends never see them, but for me they always herald something special is going to happen and they are a real comfort. They are gentle nudge to stop me worrying, and I know it will be all ok. They are my little sign from God.</p> For the last 10 years dragonflies have come to me in the most unexpected away. Living in the City of Sydney Australia they are not common.

It felt mystical. I went inside to look in the animal medicine book for insight about what it means. When I came back out they were still there. My aunt is in the hospital. She has a special connection with nature spirits. I don't know if this had anything to do with her but it felt good. The dragonflies were not in anyone else's yard. They were only in our yard (over our garden). There are no ponds nearby so I don't know what attracted them to our yard. A neighbor walked by and said they love to eat mosquitos. But we haven't had many mosquitos this year. The dragonflies did not seem to notice me. But I was mesmerized by their presence. It felt like a blessing. I am so grateful for the divinity of nature.</p> When I came home from work I noticed several (20+ ?) large dragonflies flying quickly in all directions above me near the telephone wires and the tops of the trees.

His father has Alzheimer's and is not very nice to him, his sister or mom. After events that happened this past weekend, I am ready to leave. Tonight I left to get my nails done, as I'm pulling out of the driveway, there are hundreds of Dragon Flys in my front yard only.....I was amazed! Even my neighbor sent me a text to let me know! My fiancee is finally going to get professional help and I see this as a good sign for us. after 10 years of hell, maybe this will work out! He cant handle what is happening with his dad.....and many other issues as he is a public servant...I hope its a good sign!</p> Things with my fiancee have been horrible between us lately and it looks bleak.

My entire immediate family have struggled. My mum has had a rough childhood due to her father, my father has had leukemia for 7 years and is still going strong, my sister has had everything terrible imaginable happen to her, my 12 yr old niece has sleep induced epilepsy and finds life in general a challenge and myself...well I keep telling myself that my problems are nothing compared to the rest of the world. Especially some of the stories I've just read. When at work, for the past 3 mths, I keep having a visit from this 1 particular dragonfly, it doesn't get too close but circles around me and flys and dips like it hasn't a care in the world. Just today I also had a dragonfly fly in time to my moving vehicle for about 5 secs right in front of my windscreen. It was amazing and I felt curious yet such peace!! This site has truly been inspirational and I now hold hope that there are positive changes that lie ahead for myself and my family. I can't bear the thought of my father being taken by the deadly disease of leukaemia that plagues him but somehow, I just know that everything will be okay in life and in death. I cherish every moment I have with him and know that I will see him in the afterlife. Dragonflies (in my eyes now) are telling us that great changes lay ahead, listen to your inner voice and to cherish every single moment you have on earth. We are only mortal once and will never be as beautiful as we are right now.</p> I am at a stage in my life where I find myself questioning everything. My entire immediate family have struggled.

Startled at first I let it sit. Soon a second joined. I let it stay. THEY CAME AND LEFT SEVERAL TIMES. I had to go in the house. But I thought it odd. Any meanings?</p> I also was on a lounge in the backyard and had a dragonfly land on my right knee. Startled at first I let it sit. Soon a second joined. I let it stay.

I always have strange experience with dragon flies while being put out for surgery, it has become something my family teases me about. Never thought much of it until this Sunday, I was in my driveway, and ended up surrounded by dragonflies, 100's od them, I reached up my arm, and they started flying around my arm. My family was in the yard watching as fascinated by the experience as I was. It felt wonderous. Family teases even more about dragon flies, but I just can't seem to find anyone to explain the experience. I was great reading others stories. BTW, we are a butterfly haven, you should see our house in the spring and fall, Manarch butterflies and several other breds stop for a visit for a few days, it just spectacular to walk through a swarm of butterflies, never put any meaning to that, maybe I shouldn't for the dragonflies</p> I found this site because I was searching for meaning with dragonflies.

One went with me for a while down the road. For two Sundays in a row I would leave my windows down a little because it has been so hot, and a dragonfly would be in my car. If anyone knows what this means please let me know.</p> Lately I have been seeing dragonflies and the have been setting on my arm and flying around me. One went with me for a while down the road.

I was amazed & smiling. One week later an opportunity suddenly came up & I was able to change my life by getting out of a marriage that just was not meant to be. I am happy, following God & living my life like I should be. I did remarry to a good Chrstian man. But yesterday I am at this same lake - just my children & me. My daughter looks at me and says, mama don't move or scream but there is a dragonfly on your knee! (Same knee as before). This time I looked & did not stare,I just layed my head back. So I am a little unerved! I think this sight is wonderful but there are alot of signs of death on here as well. So I am happy & don't want any bad chnages only good one!

I chose to have chemotherapy to shrink the tumor before operation, but then it started growing again. For a couple of days I got signs every day concerning a new medication and my consciousness was lead to a tree, the yew, which is used to make medicine to cure cancer. One of these days I was heading for a nearby park and as soon as I entered I saw a really huge dragonfly green and blue flying around on one spot. I had to pass through and the dragonfly flew right around me several times between a yew and a thuja and I knew this is a message from the spirits of nature have come to help me. I felt that this power is very old and everything is going to be allright. Later I met a friend who was wearing a tuqoise t-shirt with a dragonfly print on it.</p> <p>Now my doctors have changed the chemotherapy to paclitaxel which is made from yew and I will start this medicine tomorrow. The most touching line I read here on this blog was that the dragonfly symbolizes a positive change after long hardship. Since I saw the dragonfly I know everything will be allright. Thank you for all your 60 comments you shared with me.</p> In April this year I have been diagnosed breastcancer.
