Lightness



What is the difference between hope and faith? You can have one without the other, it would seem. I mused on these and other pond rings as I stared up at the summer blue sky. It would be night in a few hours, and colorful twinkling flares of light would ignite the air.

What is it about those brief Promethean ejaculations that enamor us so; the striking of a match, the meeting of a fuse, the rushing spark, a screaming ascension, a trail of fire; higher...higher; and pop; a momentary lightness; colors stream, then disappear.

I'll tell you:

They are mirrors.
