The Dragonfly and The Lake
A gentle fable about stress, stillness, and learning to land
Stress often shows up as constant movement — the need to do more, be everywhere, and never slow down.
The Dragonfly and the Lake is a reflective fable about a dragonfly who feared that stopping meant disappearing. In her endless rush, the lake beneath her became cloudy, and she lost sight of her own reflection.
Through simple imagery and quiet wisdom, this story explores how chronic stress disconnects us from ourselves, blurs clarity, and keeps us in motion even when rest is what we need most. The dragonfly’s moment of landing becomes an invitation: to pause, breathe, and remember that presence — not constant activity — is what allows us to be fully seen.
This fable is meant to be read slowly, especially in moments when life feels rushed, overwhelming, or fragmented.
