It's Time

"You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be, and one day some great opportunity stands before you and calls you to stand up for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause; and you refuse to do it because you are afraid, you refuse to do it because you will live longer.  You're afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you're afraid that somebody will stab you, or shoot at you or bomb your house, so you refuse to take the stand.  Well, you may go on and live until you are 90, but you're just as dead at 38 as you would be at 90.  The cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit." -Martin Luther King Jr.

So I decided to look within myself.  I returned to my roots and I looked up Dragonfly.  My obsession with dragonflies sprouted for a reason and it came time to remind myself.  Among the meanings of dragonflies on this website, these were listed:

• Maturity and a Depth of character
• Power and Poise
• Defeat of Self Created Illusions
• Focus on living ‘IN’ the moment
• The opening of one’s eyes    

I then searched youtube for "dragonfly" and these were the first two songs I heard.

 

I've decided I'm leaving.  I'm getting my Venezuelan ID and I'm hoping to move by June.  Life is going to change, and I'm bringing Jack with me. <3
