Why do dragonflies show themselves to me daily?

You may live in an area where dragonflies are abundant. Do you seek them, perhaps without even realizing it? Dragonflies may have special, even spiritual meaning for you. This is all the more reason for you to be clear about the frequency of their appearance. Is there anyone else in your area who sees them frequently? It is important when seeking spiritual maturity that we examine things from time to time, courageously, in order NOT to embrace a romanticized spiritual experience in place of genuineness. Spirituality is not very often embodied by the things we desire. When an experience feeds the desires and hopes of the flesh nature, it probably is just the trickster in us, having fun at our expense.
