I’m happy you mentioned this poem on TikTok, I came right over here to read it. I really appreciate what you share. This poem says so much. By the way, we went out on the river today, so many dragon flies! Thank you!

Ann—the title, precise words and images of dragonflies “opened my heart” and made me aware of their close connections. Lovely 💕
