1502. a call to be still

 

hurt praying mantis
a gentle touch to the wing
and then he was gone 🦊❤️

I had been thinking alot about stillness the other day when I encountered a Praying Mantis seemingly marooned on a guardrail beside the road. I picked up a stick and the Praying Mantis hopped onto the stick. I placed the stick into the grass away from the road and I was gone. A half an hour later I encountered another Praying Mantis on the trunk of a tree. Its wing appeared to be damaged.  I gently touched its wing and it fell back into place.  Then it was gone. I googled the meaning of seeing Praying Mantises. It said encountering them signified stillness and calm… 🦊❤️
