We protect what we value.
Take time to list the natural treasures of what we care about
Fireflies, stars
I looked up at the night sky.
Mottled cloud
‘Look, fireflies’ my husband whispers.
Fireflies? In Ontario?
Impossible!
But here they are 15 years later with global warming.
The odd one flickering by the neighbour’s elm, now atop their cedar.
Oh!
I’ve just caught a glimpse of nature’s magic!
So I stay out,
to capture the long dusk, the extension into the night sky
hayfever in the air
Each time i sneeze, a few more stars appeared
North star .
Big dipper . … …
Cassiopeia … … . … .
We protect what we value.
Take time to list the treasures of what we care about
– fireflies
– stars
– mosquitoes
what is on your list?
