With the dreamy heat of late summer and the soft shadows of the warm twilight comes one of the most magical sights of the year: the dance of the fireflies. These insects inhabit the border between magic and reality; scientists still don't understand the secrets of their cool light. Do you remember chasing them as a child? Go outside tonight and watch them again. You may wish to greet them with something like this:

Firefly flicker,
Firefly glow,
Light up the sky and the world below.

Here on the shadowed stage you must play;
Your light is invisible by day.

In this you teach us to see,
That dark brings beauty with its mystery.
