Brooke Williams encountered a dragonfly and became a dreamer

Environmental author Brooke Williams believes that dragonflies are messengers of wisdom and enlightenment. This idea got my head buzzing so I invited Williams to join me at a pond near my home to talk about it. He told me he has been on a 20-year journey to forge a new relationship with nature and that the dragonfly has been his guide to discover unseen forces in nature that are so captivating when we learn how to see them. In his book Encountering Dragonfly: Notes on the Practice of Re-enchantment , Williams opens himself up to the poetic and mystical meaning of the dragonfly. A doorway I really enjoyed walking through with him and hope you do too.
