Sun and Lamp

 

Lord

            you are the sun

            high above the mountain

            while I am the firefly

            and tiny speck

            deep in the valley

Yet we

            are the radiance

            for tis You Who

            lights my little lamp

            to shine

            in the darkness

Thanks Cindy. Yes, I believe the firefly is of the Light and that there is an interconnectedness.

This so aptly reminds me of the idea that our existance is the universe's way of experiencing itself. You, looking at me, looking at you, from the same place.
It is so, Perry.

Shine away, mag! And let's hope a child is not out in the field of fireflies and catches you in her jar.

This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
"This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine"
Thank you very much, indeed, Jan.
Ah, so that is the fate of fireflies, Bob .... sigh.
Let it shine, Bob, let it shine!

I like this. Very neat.

God is the light that shines within. Simple, but quite elegant verse.
Thank you, Sheila.
God is indeed the very Light that shines within, Bill. Thank you very much.

Wonderful and true! ;-)

Blessings and best wishes - S.
Thank you very much, Svetlana.
Thank you, Ruth. There are no fireflies in West Oz, either, but they live in my imagination.

A firefly may be small, but it isn't insignificant :) Great writing, as always, Magi.

Renda:

Magi is "between houses" right now. We probably won't see him around Gather for a week or so.
I have returned!

Thank you very much for the compliment, Renda and to you, Bob, for keeping an eye on things in my absence.
