fly little firefly fly

have you ever gone out at dusk in the rain and caught fireflies with a six-year-old?
and then raced to a fallen-down-tree with your jar of bugs and set them free?
and sang them a song as they flew away?

and listened to the thunder roll...

and then ran down to the Catholic church to catch some more,
and let the six year old tell you the meaning of life?

that we are all God.

that life never ends.

that we will always know each other.

and then say, "that's enough, let's catch more fireflies."

and count them together as you put them back into the jar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

have you ever done that?
