ideas, stories

Running down a mountain after the last gray light has begun to fade away, I see a firefly for the first time in my life and stop running, hold out my hand and it lands on my hand like it knows me, this little insect, absolutely nothing at all and at the same time the neatest little beautiful thing, walks on my finger then lifts up again lighting its own way off into the last bit of dimming light. Then they all came out and lit my way as I ran down the mountain.

Exquisite grammar is so far out of the field of question, even words just seem wrong.

It’s from early ’08. It’d been a long and bad week; I woke up early Sunday morning, after not having rested very well (or much), to go run. I saw the sun coming through the front door (a sight I miss) and decided to take a photo before heading out. I did a lot of thinking, praying, and wondering during that run, and by the time I got back, some words had come together in my mind, and they matched (by chance?) with the photo.

esta mañana
dejé de la casa, para correr
y fui acogido
por el sol del amanacer
