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.
Moon & Stars,
Ruby
