Portland Firefly
This beautiful painting came from:http://www.streetmorrisart.com
and the artist is Robin Street-Morris
it’s titled Firefly watching II
I have been asked how I got the identity of Portland Firefly. The first part is easy… Portland is my new home and PDX is the three letter code for the Portland Airport. Rather fitting for a former Flight Attendant, don’t you think?
The next word — Firefly — is a bit more convoluted. I love fireflies. I love their clear blue-white light. I love that they twinkle and sparkle. As a small child, when I would go to bed, I would often be reaching up into the air and grabbing at something that my Mother could not see. I did this most nights. Always trying to catch the little lights that she never could see. She would ask me what I was doing and I’d tell her that I wanted to catch the little lights. “Help me Mommy. Don’t you see them? They are right there.” She never saw them and she never helped me catch them. To me they were fireflies and I loved them.
I want to be a clear sparkling light and to be an inspiration to others and to encourage those that need it. We all need some encouragement in our lives and what is wrong with a sparkling firefly to guide us?
