Why Dragons?


I found myself attracted to dragons lately to the point I began drawing them.
A dragon showed up in a meditation a few weeks ago, completely unbidden. In fact, I was trying to meditate on unicorns.
The reason is quite simple. In my current WIP my main character wanted to be transformed into a deer temporarily, but became a unicorn instead.
During my unicorn research I found some meditations. It seemed like a good idea to try one.
I did, but when I tried to visualize it I got a dragon instead. Since then dragons commonly show up. I've grown quite fond of them.
In the past I was indifferent to them. While they are fine creatures they had limited emotional impact on me.
Now I think they're the best and draw them almost every day.  They're showing up all around me. Ads for dragon fruit jump out at me. I bought a book about dragons. I see mention of them constantly.
In general, they are making themselves known to me. Spiritually this means they want to be in my life.
I like to think my drawings encourage them and make them feel welcome.
Usually I stick to simple lines, but the other day I decided to colour my drawing.

It was okay, but I wanted it brighter so I scanned it and played with some photo editing programs.
The result may seem a bit garish, but it is what I wanted.

The dragons haven't made it clear to me why they are visiting in my meditations, but that's fine.
I'm happy to have them, and happy to wait.

Lewiston Labyrinth

I really enjoyed my walk through the Lewiston labyrinth on Saturday during the retreat's lunch break.
It's so relaxing to walk through the flowers and to read the inscriptions on the stones inlaid along the pathways.
The bench in the center is perfect for meditating.
