Orb Queen, what a lovely dragonfly story. It is definitely meaningful that it held still AND let you touch its wing! Definitely meaningful. yes

Also of note...I read saw this thread the other day and it is a very interesting perspective on what the earth changes mean and how people will be affected. I don't know if it will make you feel better or not, but I found it a good addition to my other perspectives and thoughts... Earth Mother - "I found another explanation..."

On the thread a person does a great job of summarizing the contents of a free ebook called Earth Mother - Our Womb of Life and the Coming New Heaven - Ancient Knowledge Restored.

I have not read the ebook (the summary sufficed for me tiphat). The part that intrigued me most was the concept of the earth mother birthing the core of the earth through the Antarctic Ocean to become a new moon (and our current moon was birthed in a similar process), which explains the earthquakes (and the thing coming up from the sea in our visions).

Also resonating with me is "the fifth world (the new heaven)" as I have received the concept of "the fifth" many times, not to mention the messages I've had of "heaven on earth" or "paradise is exactly where you are right now, only much, much better." Actually, a whooole lot of this fits in with my own personal divination. So I'm putting this card in my deck.

An interesting bit from the thread...

In the new cycle, Mercury and Venus will merge with the sun to reach their ultimate destiny, while the other planets will transition into the orbits vacated by those planets. Our moon will take the place of Mercury, and the Earth will take the place of Venus in an orbit much closer to the Sun. All life forms on Earth will change to be able to exist in the new environment. In the last cycle, Venus was the Fourth World and moved up to become the Fifth World-Morning Star. In this cycle, Mars will take the orbit that the Earth currently occupies and become the new Fourth World (the new Earth), while the Earth will become the Fifth World (the new Heaven).
