Reflections on Firefly

Tuesday, August 6, 2013 5:14 AM

Firefly is a phenomena whose messages resonate deeply with me. Its primary message of acceptance is powerful and transformative. It portrays a disparate group of individuals who become a "family" by choice, an interracial couple deeply in love acting as equals, and strong female characters intuitively healing the deep hurts of those around them. From the first episode, "Serenity" to the last, "Objects in Space", I am invested in their trials and mishaps. I identify with their everyday struggles to survive on the edge in a society engineered to favor the wealthy and well connected. I revel in the love that makes them stronger than the forces that seek to control them. They inspire me to embrace the unknown, and do the impossible, because that's what makes us mighty.

Keep Flying...
