Illumination (Post 5)

Peter Anderson

I found myself entranced as I was walking home from the 8-11 year old's home with Connor, Elise, and Elzer (a graduate of NPH who now works there). There was so much natural light surrounding me in the night. To the right and left of me there were fields of fireflies, brighter than I have ever seen before. As I looked up I could see the stars shining bright in the sky more vivid than I have ever seen. In addition to that, a mile away there was lightning flashing every few seconds. This had to have been one of the coolest things in nature I have ever witnessed.
