Spirituality has become a major component of life for millions of people around the world. Whether it comes from an organized religion or a natural journey of the self, spirituality has affected so many people, especially the concept of the human soul. As Emily Dickinson once said, “Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.”
In author Maria Garay Reynolds’s On the Wings of My Dragonfly, the author relays a story of the soul. What begins as a simple memory of a great-grandmother spending time with her great-grandson turns into a harmonious journey into the soul as the narrator reflects on a family-born ability to communicate with spirits.
