Looking for fire

Sometimes we put our work into the world and we wait for it to catch fire. We send out sparks of creativity — watching to see if it spreads.

It’s easy to get discouraged if “catching fire” is all you’re looking for. Especially if it’s not happening.

But maybe the kind of work you’re doing is firefly work. A little bit of light. A brief glow. Magic in small doses.

Let it be so.

Remember: fireflies can light up the night with beauty.
