About damselfly

 See my Member Profile

Hi, I've been traveling within my spirit for 59 years and hope to find what makes me happiest before I die. Like the damselfly, my wings have carried me through easy breezes where I could ponder prey or rest upon my laurels. Many times, however, my stealthy, shimmering wings have carried me through toughest of gales to learn life's lessons and to know I am never alone. I enjoy people who smile just for the sake of smiling. I feel, for the smiler and for the one who witnesses the smile, goodness connects each soul. Writing seems to be a passion for me and whether I write well or not, I can't help but put words together to manifest my thoughts of nonfiction or make believe. I pray we all find Peace within because there's not much out there.
