Dragon profiles a Stereotype

Profiling isn’t a good idea

Do you know why

It could change the way humans identify

I am not St. George’s horse

As referenced in the book

“Folklore of the Dragonfly.”

I never even knew him

They would have you believe
I am a devil horse that flies
Oh my…

The romanian word for devil is “drac” but “drac” also means dragon in romanian

Because of all this mixed up stuff my name translated as Dragonfly

Confusing right? Just another way to stereotype

Now I cannot tell you how many times this made me cry

Blue Dasher a preferred name of I

But I had no say in scientific decide

My kingdom is in Animalia

I have class of Insecta

My family is Libellulidae

I could go on
but why

The simple truth is this

My mother loves me

She named me Blueray
I am known as the blue dasher

I help with insect control

Especially mosquitoes as some of you already know

Now that you know the truth maybe next time before you stereotype

You’ll think twice…

Heart of stone

PHOTOGRAPHY, Poetry

I used to scream so loud in the dead of night but no one could hear me

I would never turn out the light in hopes that someone would find me

Memory of a winter’s night my heart was so cold it had turned to ice

In summer it thawed but it had been hardened so long it turned to stone

I would tell you my heart was so sad and that it hurt so bad but that would not be true

My heart was silent for my spirit had died

And the only thing I know is

Stones can’t lie

The bridge I must cross…

LOVE POEMS, PHOTOGRAPHY

Sometimes I hide from what I know to be true for it frightens me

My journey insists I cross a bridge that I rather not cross

Like a child’s uncertainty walking by the light of the moon

So my thoughts intrude in my clouded mind persuading me to higher ground

I must cross or I will surely die

A bitter death of a spiritual kind

Intuitively I am painfully aware that I mustn’t haste

A day dream becomes my reality
demanding I move from my comfort zone

I am afraid…

What is on the other side…

Can you tell me

Or maybe I could continue

To hide…

I
Want
To
Be

At such a cost

Delivering corporate merchandise

To Americans

Always low prices

Or maybe

Always paid with a price

Blood stains on their trains

as we lie bleeding….

I feel the earth move under my feet

I feel the sky tumbling down…

By Carole King

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin’ down
I feel my heart start to tremblin’
Whenever you’re around

Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darlin’, I can’t stand it
When you look at me that way

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin’ down
I feel my heart start to tremblin’
Whenever you’re around

Ooh darlin’, when you’re near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can’t tame
I’ve just got to have you, baby

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin’ down, a tumblin’ down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin’ down, a tumblin’ down
I just a lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold
All over, all over, all over, all over

I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin’ down, a tumblin’ down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumblin’ down, a tumblin’ down
A tumblin’ down, a tumblin’ down, a tumblin’ down
Tumblin’ down

(Carole King)

I’m just feeling a little nostalgic tonight.

Gimme shelter…

A perfect storm…

Cooling the landscape to delicious

Life is cool yet warm in an Arizona
Perfect storm..

No-one ever said life would be easy

Arizona lemon trees have a great struggle to bear fruit…I love them for they never give up:)

The two shall become as one…

Eventually…

The gathering…

Cacti passion…

Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.

Today’s Brunch photos

Out door malls in Arizona

Palm decor

Brunch time with misting lines 108° today….we ate inside. We’re not seasoned Arizonaian’s yet. Outside dinning in this weather is for guys like poncho and lefty. {{{{Laughs}}}}

In Arizona misting lines are hung above out door dining, for a refreshing mist that slightly caresses you while you’re enjoying your brunch.

Comparisons of tone

The road will narrow

But stay on the path and keep moving forward. Do not give up, for it will be worth it in the end.
Always remember, God is love and love never fails.

Another reminder

I’m not alone…

Love and peace

“If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal”
– John Lennon

Life is wonderful

PHOTOGRAPHY, Poetry

My happiness depends on my ability, to become willing, to accept that things are exactly the way they are supposed to be.
Nothing happens by mistake.
Adversity is sent to teach us to practice patience, tolerance and love.

Life is wonderful

And so are you

Just believe

The truth, it frees…
