Firefly

What the tradition holds

Read as brief light in the dark, and as hope that does not need to last long to count.

Where that reading came from

Fireflies flash in species specific patterns to find each other. The light is nearly heatless and it is a conversation.

They appear for a few weeks in early summer, in humid places. The season is short, which is part of why noticing them lands.
