„...human life, where contact is more
like the flash of fireflies,
in and out, now here, now there, in darkness.
Short-story writers see by the light
of the flash; theirs is the art
of the only thing one can be sure of
— the present moment. “

What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across
the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
attributed to Crowfoot (ca 1830-1890),
chief of the Canadian Blackfoot tribe.
