Unseen they gather
Living jewels bearing flame
Mirror summer’s fire
Exasperating presence
Beauty is invisible

Sue Vincent was a Yorkshire born writer, esoteric teacher and a Director of The Silent Eye. She was immersed in the Mysteries all her life. Sue maintained a popular blog and is co-author of The Mystical Hexagram with Dr G.M.Vasey. Sue lived in Buckinghamshire, having been stranded there due to an accident with a blindfold, a pin and a map.

Yes indeed, so tiny, so vital.

Darn flies! So, what is the difference between a dragonfly and a damselfly? I’ve heard both?? Your tanka made something that is a pest appear beautiful. That is magical. ❤

The dragonflies are as big as your hand, the damsels tend to be no bigger than a toothpick 🙂
