Is it possible that we are arriving at the halfway point of Year 2009?  The incredible pace of days, weeks and months leaves me wondering where time goes.  I do not have to go far to find out.  A quick look at my automated schedule of where and how I have spent my time during the past six months indicates to me that I may have trampled on many roses along the path of 2009, ignorant of their existence, never mind their aroma.

As I wonder where time goes I naturally explore, in the bigger scheme of things, where the activities in my life are taking me.  The simple things in life—catching fireflies—seem reserved for those with nothing better to do; yet, thinking about it, maybe ‘those’ are the ones who “get it.”  As the actor, Jim Carrey, suggests, “I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”

I see the light, and it’s coming from a firefly.
