A Pocket Full of Fireflies

from Fireflies · host Anushree Das

Some memories don’t serve a purpose. They don’t move your story forward or lead you anywhere. And yet, they stay. In this episode, I talk about a dream in Scotland, an imagined life in Italy, and the quiet, strange things I return to when life feels heavy. They don’t fix anything, but they make it a little easier to breathe. And sometimes, that is enough to keep you going, to show up again, to do the things life asks of you.We live in a world that wants everything to mean something, to become something, to lead somewhere. But not everything needs a goal. I call these small, personal moments fireflies. They exist just for you. This episode is about holding on to them and honouring them. Because sometimes, the smallest lights are what help you do the biggest things.Send us Fan Mail

Sparks A difference makers podcast by John Michael Sparks, my friends, are those glimmers of inspiration that dance upon the edges of our minds. They are the thoughts and ideas that flutter around the realm of faith, neuroscience and marketplace leadership like fireflies on a summer night. Not yet fully formed, not fully explored, but brimming with potential. differencemakers.substack.com Nighttime on Still Waters Richard Goode A narrowboat-based audio journal on canal life, living aboard, the elements, and the night. Perfect late-night listening for dreamers, insomniacs, night owls, nocturnalists, drifters, and nomads. For lovers Fagen's 'Nightfly', Auden's 'Night Mail', Hopper's 'Nighthawks' and the 'drifting sea-dark streets' of Dylan Thomas. For all those who used to listen to the transistor under your pillow, love the sound of distant trains and rain against the windowpanes, canals and drover's tracks, lost music, splashed puddles, fireflies and bats, hares by moonlight, windsong among pines, owl-light, the shipping forecast, and all the wonderful, terrifying, grand and tawdry avenues of the night. Cosy listening for bedtimes. Company Men's Podcast Company Men 1.Fantasy (Original Mix)Company Men feat Tommie Nibbs2.Make Me Beautiful (Incl.
