Fireflies

by Liseli Haines
Mohawk Valley Meeting

In the warm evenings of summer, we like to go on walks down the road to see the fireflies that make the long grass of the meadow sparkle with their twinkling lights. As the season progresses the fireflies go higher into the trees at the edge of the meadow and light up the trees in their random patterns. I remember thinking that it looked like twinkling lights on a Christmas Tree. The beauty and wonder bring me joy.

What If?

So the mother in me asks, what if?

What if this darkness is not the darkness of the tomb, but the darkness of the womb?

Yes, a Better World is Possible!
