I know what fireflies mean to me--I said I would share those stories later and I will. But throughout history, fireflies have symbolized different things to different people. Here is a listing:
Inspiration (guess that worked with me)
Illumnation (well, they do light up!)
Patience (waiting for the night to get dark enough)
Attraction (from one firefly to another, I suppose)
Energy (it takes a lot to blink, blink, blink)
Hope (that they will shine for us tonight)
Aspiration (I don't get this one at all)
Guidance (should you really follow a firefly if you get lost?)
Efficiency (combine that with energy and we would all save)
Creativity/New idea (again, maybe where I started?)
Awakening (hmmm, have to think on that one)
Sorry for all the sidebars but I couldn't resist! This list just shows that fireflies mean a lot of different things to different people. I would be interested to know it they have a special place in your life as they have in mine. The next two posts will explain (at least partly) why these little critters mean so much to me.

Fireflies
There's a reason I like fireflies; actually there are several, but two in particular. One night there was a mystical event between the fireflies and myself, the other involved my grand-daughter and what she had to teach me about those little lightning bugs. I will share those stories later but suffice it to say, fireflies have a special place in my life.
I am a grounded person, one who others say has common-sense.and a good work ethic. But there is a large part of me that loves the idea of fairy people, speaks to the man in the moon and believes the ocean calls to me to come vist at least every two years.
I have a deep faith in God but I also have questions for Him. I believe that some things just cannot be explained; they are just part of the mystery of life. That mystery keeps me going because no one knows what lies just over the next hill, around the next corner or past the stars and moon.
Imagination and creation. What a lovely combination!
