observations and process

nearly July (draft from June)

When I was a kid, I would run around my backyard chasing fireflies with an outstretched hand. I knew other kids that liked to keep them in jars, but I found that if I just gently lifted my hand upwards beneath a hovering firefly, it would land in my palm and often stay there. Sometimes, I would cover it with my other hand and create a temporary cocoon to trap the bug, peeking through the opening between my thumbs every few seconds to see that it hadn't crawled out between my fingers.
