The Dragonfly
In many cultures the dragonfly is regarded as a symbol of light, adaptability, grace and transformation. Dragonflies are reminders that we are light and we can reflect the light in powerful and meaningful ways. They encourage us to let our own light shine forth. The dragonfly symbolizes our ability to overcome times of hardship. Their message is for us to take time to reconnect with our own strength, courage and happiness. The fact that a dragonfly can see in all 360 degrees around it symbolizes the ability to see beyond limitations. The dragonfly is the essence of change, wisdom and enlightenment. As members of the Order of the Eastern Star we must remember to let “our light” shine forth remembering our benevolence. Like the dragonfly, may we look beyond our limitations. Using our wisdom, adaptability and grace, may we fly to unlimited heights to achieve all for which stand. Let us open our hearts and minds to visualize a brilliant future for our Order. |
