SUMMER 2024 OF CHILDREN A firefly display in the twilight tonight. The park pathway where I walk fills with bright yellow diamonds on gray faerie wings, Wild starry hordes in shadows, among grasses, along slopes, brushing across my hands and my feet. I recall another twilight and another place. Fireflies dance over meadow grass and my children, so young fledglings, darting through shadows, sparklers aloft, the gloaming alive with their cries and their light.   Life as Myth, Collected writings, "Fireflies", Usher. (2006 - ).

River walk with lamplight and stars. Usher (2012).   Life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), British writer and essayist

O wonder! How many goodly creatures are there here! How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world That has such people in ’t! The Tempest, (V.i) Shakespeare.
