I spent a lot of time admiring the many nuances of this dragonfly marveling how it ended its time on Earth in the cross-legged Lotus position. People reach a deep meditative state by adopting the lotus pose allowing the body to be held completely steady for long periods of time. The dragonfly's posture hasn't changed at all since it was discovered weeks ago. Studying their wings of lace, I etched mark after mark, coaxing the clay to bring new life to this beautiful creature.
