Stories of Soft Hearts: The Firefly with the Amber Glow
5 Min Read
Ages 4-9
The world can be noisy during the daylight hours, with loud motors, busy voices, and rushing footsteps. But this evening, we visit The Firefly with the Amber Glow, realizing that its warm amber light was softer on the eyes than bright neon sparks.
When the sun tucked itself behind the hills, the world finally paused. Big feelings that felt heavy during the day began to soften and dissolve, like a spoonful of sweet honey stirred into warm milk.
It is okay to put down all the thoughts and all the rush. It is okay to be quiet. You don't have to be anything more than you are right now: cozy, peaceful, and warm in your bed.
As the night covers the room in comforting shadows, let your breathing slow down. Relax your forehead, relax your hands, and let peace fill every corner of your mind.
