My Sincere Pleasure..........
And it appears from the get-go that you and your group are going to have a Most Excellent Event.
Add a little Dragonfly poetry (...shimmering wings...graceful arcs of flight...softly humming sounds..) and you'll have them clamoring for more:
=============================================
The Dragon-fly By Alfred Lord Tennyson
Today I saw the dragon-fly
Come from the wells where he did lie.
An inner impulse rent the veil
Of his old husk: from head to tail
Came out clear plates of sapphire mail.
He dried his wings: like gauze they grew;
Thro’ crofts and pastures wet with dew
A living flash of light he flew.
The Dragonfly
By Louise Bogan
You are made of almost nothing
But of enough
To be great eyes
And diaphanous double vans;
To be ceaseless movement,
Unending hunger
Grappling love.
Link between water and air,
Earth repels you.
Light touches you only to shift into iridescence
Upon your body and wings.
Twice-born, predator,
You split into the heat.
Swift beyond calculation or capture
You dart into the shadow
Which consumes you.
You rocket into the day.
But at last, when the wind flattens the grasses,
For you, the design and purpose stop.
And you fall
With the other husks of summer.
==============================================
But Wait! There's More!!
Beautiful Quotes About Dragonflies
Clouds of insects danced and buzzed in the golden autumn light, and the air was full of the piping of the song-birds. Long, glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Time is for dragonflies and angels.
The former live too little and the latter live too long."
James Thurber
... "A boy can run and chase dragonflies , because that is his nature," she said.
From the movie, “The Joy Luck Club.
