I do feel down, just like the rest of us
I feel trapped sometimes I must confess
But there are always little things in my day
That teach me that life isn’t always impeccable
The ups and downs of our day are an example
How life can have unexpected turns and detours
To understand the current situation we need
A different perspective, a changed outlook
Like the fireflies trapped in a glass jar
Have a craving for freedom just as we have now
We crave open air and liberty to meet others
But do understand that this voluntary boycott
Is the one thing saving lives right now
Don’t try to live on the edge of a knife
Come inside it is safer for all involved

I can remember catching lightening bugs almost 3 decades ago, in MO.. In FL now can’t tell you the last time I have seen one. For some reason this is a good childhood memory. Love the way the jar looks all lit up.

This is a great reminder that though we may all feel trapped sometimes during this pandemic, there is much to be thankful for and little moments of joy if we pay attention. Lovely, Sadje!

I think many parents, certainly parents with autistic families feel trapped all the time. But we find ways of living. We all need to these days.

You are so right, Sadje. Today was a hard day for me but what you said about craving freedom made it easier. Essentially we are postponing our current freedom to actually have it for the rest of our lives. Thank you!
