Catch It

I grew up in upstate New York.
Evenings brought out fire flies.
It was always an adventure to try to catch them,
jar them, and have your own light show.
There was just an excitement;
an awe;
a childlike innocence and reverence to watching them.


As an adult;
we lose the enthusiasm;
we work too long;
we work too hard;
we leave no energy to chase the light show.


People . . .
STOP!


Breathe.


Sit.
Be amazed.
Run.
Capture the purity.
Delight in the simple joy
of nature's light show.
