Fireflies

Tonight as I was walking to the train on my way home from church, I stopped for a bit at Stuyvesant Park to think. I am feeling pretty disconnected and thought I could clear my head.

And to my delight, the park was filled with fireflies! I haven't seen fireflies in ages. I remember seeing them as a girl camping (just ask any of my cousins or siblings about my mom worrying they'd burn a hole in her new tent!) The ones from my youth, I think, were yellow and large. These ones were small and lit up green. Magical.

I'm still feeling disconnected, but for a little while this evening I was transported somewhere else.
