About this episode
I recently sat staring into a swarm of Dragonflies. My studies of Native American Spirituality opened the soul I carry to what it meant to be in such a moment. To become aware of falsehoods, deceit and illusions. I could've easily stopped there but I wanted to bring God into the picture. Dragonflies in that shape of study represents transformation. As a writer and endless thinker it was now time to blend the two messages. But it had to be done by way of not the human looking at the Dragonfly but the Dragonfly looking into your eyes. What would it see, feel, imagine and quite possibly learn? What types of energy are you generating that would inspire or warn the Dragonfly of there being possible danger? I'm amazed by the enormous amount of pictures posted on the social networks how and what influences us to move in any direction. If a Dragonfly were to watch what you post could they identify who you are and what you're teaching them to become? This is not judgement but rather awareness. The other day an interviewer asked me, "How would you best describe Arroe Collins?" Without a breath of air in between us I instantly shot back, "Arroe doesn't know. Twenty four years of daily writing and not one string of understanding comes to terms with who and what the purpose and plan are designing. The goal is to grow everyday. It's to be open for constant change. I don't mind being different in all aspects. I accept weird. I'm better at being bad. I practice it every chance I get. The more I practice bad the better I get at becoming better. Being in a bad mood is every reason to study behavior. Having a bad radio show opens my imagination to identifying what I was trying that was new and out of tune to my habits. Asking an artist a bad question doesn't represent bad show prep but maybe I wasn't truly listening to the conversation and it come into play by being out of place. Do I know what the Dragonflies were telling me that day at Andrew Jackson State Park? Falsehoods, deceit, illusions? Was God introducing me to a transformation? Being aware of all things evolving opens your heart and mind. Trusting it sets you on a path of victory.
