fireflies
much like i had never seen, or known that, clouds move until i took the time to stop for a moment senior year, i had never seen a firefly until last week. i ran by the secluded area of the running path - a part i usually speed through due to fright about the secludedness. i saw two glimmers of light, and wondered for the rest of the run if those had been fireflies. today i ran by that same leafy area, and a few minutes after the sun set, fireflies led my way through that dim 20 feet of a paved pathway.
sometimes i wonder how much of childhood i missed, locked away indoors learning math or skating all day.
and every time i make one of these “discoveries”, i wonder what else i’ve missed.
