The dragonfly s temporary aerial existence, we know, is for completing the cycle of life in propagation. In nature, we can see activity as reflections of our own lives, just as clearly as we see the bold clouds mirrored on the still surface of the ponds. These often unappreciated events are outdoor versions of the same mystery depicted in the stained glass scenes of a church, and both are back-lit by a glorious Sunday morning sun.
Nature is an open-air church.

The funnies used to be my favorite section of the papers, however, no longer have the time to buy a paper to read.
