It’s not just an insect.
It’s a gown of silence, a subtle gesture,
a walking prayer.
Its wings resemble silk,
a long dress with a central slit
revealing the strength behind elegance.
The praying mantis teaches the art of waiting,
the grace that lives in stillness,
the power born from patience.
She is a master of presence,
a sacred figure in the tiny world,
a creature that listens to time...
before acting.
Let yourself be inspired by her suspended elegance.
Imperfectly Perfect.
