Last night, I pulled my kids back out of bed so they could come outside and see the fireflies that were practically swarming in the fields around our place. I wanted them to see the wonder, but what I saw felt far more profound.
After they finally went to bed, my mind swirled with what I’d just witnessed as they bounded and ran and jumped and laughed and frolicked and screeched through the near darkness. The wisdom of my children and the fireflies they chase:

Beautiful and profound. Not obvious. This is true of most communications from you, my friend. It is clear that your kids are great “teachers” for you. They intuitively accept these gifts of the the universe. Most of us squint at it and miss the point that it’s a huge, magical, spectacle. Before you can enjoy it, you have to accept the gift joyfully, unconditionally, w/out needing to control or manage it.
