I was writing in my journal when I felt/saw something from the corner of my left eye. It was the color of gas flame – a vivid blue – and hovered very near my eye for a few seconds, then darted away. I thought perhaps it was a dragonfly or hummingbird, but it moved backwards very fast, and I did not hear the wing-beats that would have accompanied these animals. I still don’t know what I experienced, really
