Heart this very much! Fireflies are such a delight and wonder. I'll never forget when I learned about the chemical process that makes their light come alive and the first time I ever saw one. Thank you for writing and sharing with us.

Great piece. I grew up in Maryland, just outside of DC, and fireflies hold a special place in mind's eye, heart, memory and spirit for me. Thanks for capturing the magic with your words. Summers back there are BRUTAL - I feel your pain. :-)

As a Californian the first time I saw fireflies I was in my 40s at a writing retreat in Georgia. Mesmerizing.
