There is no darkness that a firefly can not light a path through. As they travel in groups and then fan out causing their glow to "high beam" through the tall grass.. they pull at us .. .into our heart's... into our soul's.. where our own darkness resides at times... and they tug at us.. to follow them.. through that darkness as they light the way.. their glow warming us within.. keeping us safe.. protecting us from the hurt... healing us from within... Never forget that you all have your own group of fireflies.. deep within.. just part those tall blades of grass.. and let them guide you.. give yourself over to them.. and they will bring you Home.

I am lighting this candle for My friend Clinton "Billy" Lewis who was murdered earlier this month. Billy (as his friends called him) was the owner of Club Chill and was a gay activist in our community. He was a tenderhearted person who would as they say "give you the shirt off his back." As the investigation has progressed it appears he was murdered by a 20 year old man who was not a "regular" at the club. This man is being held in jail without bail on a second degree murder charge. Billy apparently was shot while he slept. They are not deeming this a hate crime because Billy knew this person. He was a true spirit to the community and would do and did anything he could when it came to gay rights. May his soul find peace now.
