A Circle surrounds and holds with the upper reaches being the realm of Sky which is reflected below in Water. At the top of Sky is Sun’s home and in the depths of Water is where Fire resides. On the horizons are the Earth and plants and all things solid.
The Dragonfly lives within both Water and Sky and exists in both worlds at different stages of life. And only through incredible transformation does she travel from one to the other. She faces West (to the left) and provides insight, clarity and introspection.
Hidden behind and in the center is the Medicine Wheel. This we walk each day of our lives, and which grounds everyone and everything.
This is my Journey
