Children who shine from within

I read a blog post from Rachel Macy Stafford author and creator of Hands Free Mama. She used the analogy of insects to compare ways of being in the world. It highlighted how some children are like fireflies, they shine quietly from within. It really touched me. I have one of those children, quiet, introspective, and thoughtful. While I do love the butterfly children of the world, it is important to recognize the quieter ones and see their gifts. There is space for everyone.
