ABSTRACT

Once upon a time a boy aged six, with his classmates in a small school, made a box with a glass window with leaves and twigs inside, to see the incredible transformation of a dragonfly. After weeks of waiting, we arrived one morning at school to find there were the first motions of the wings as our dragonfly started to enter the world in its new form, its second coming. My friends and I were transfixed by wonder. What happened then? The teacher made us leave the miracle before it was complete, to go to another room - to sing 'All Things Bright and Beautiful'. This damaged my soul.
