the smallest light

I feel like i should post more than I actually want to post.

I'm sitting in my darkened room with a small lone light glowing to dispel the darkness and it reminds me of my favourite line from a movie.

"Even the smallest light shines in the dark."

The line is from the movie The Seeker. Which I have to say wasn't as good as the previews made it out to be though it was entertaining.

But my light and that line made me think back to class the other day when I was thinking of "youth at risk" and fireflies.

(There was a connection between the two but now I'm contemplating fireflies)

Fireflies remind me of life in general. They shine and then stop. Shine and then stop. They blink in and out of existence. They make you appreciate the light and the dark, or the good and the bad, or just the differences and opposites that exist in the world.

I also think it's cool that something as small as a firefly can dispel darkness; can catch your attention simply because it's a light when there are few or no others. Sometimes it's the small things in life eh.
