The Meaning of a Dragonfly: What Does a Dragonfly Symbolize?

Maturity and a Depth of character.
The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world symbolizes change and change in the perspective of self realization; and the kind of change that has its source in mental and emotional maturity and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.
The traditional association of Dragonflies with water also gives rise to this meaning to this amazing insect. The Dragonfly's scurrying flight across water represents an act of going beyond what's on the surface and looking into the deeper implications and aspects of life.

Focus on living 'IN' the moment.
The dragonfly normally lives most of its life as a nymph or an immature. It flies only for a fraction of its life and usually not more than a few months. This adult dragonfly does it all in these few months and leaves nothing to be desired. This style of life symbolizes and exemplifies the virtue of living IN the moment and living life to the fullest. By living in the moment you are aware of who you are, where you are, what you are doing, what you want, what you don't and make informed choices on a moment-to-moment basis.

This ability lets you live your life without regrets like the great dragonfly. more

This seems to sum up my life at this moment. It is intriguing how nature mimics life or life mimics nature.

Today was strange weather, mostly overcast and very humid. Later in the afternoon, we had very heavy rains and tornado warnings across the region. The sun did make a short appearance and the dragonfly seemed to love the raindrops.
