There are few things as startling as encountering an unearthly glow in the wild: Glow worms, Ghost mushrooms, Fireflies, Flashlight fish, Lantern sharks, Vampire squid. Our forest floors and ceilings, our ocean depths and fringes are full of luminous beings, creatures lit from the inside. And they have, for many centuries, enchanted us, like glowing missionaries of wonder, emissaries of awe.
Is there anything more beautiful that living light?

What lights you up from the inside?
What gives rise to your flashes of light within the dark?
Inspires you with awe on the hard days?
Wakes you up when you feel half asleep?

I’d love to see them too. We don’t get fireflies in Australia and I’ve never seen the other critters ♥️
