Another wonderful January winds to an end. It is chilly outside and warm inside and my heart is full. Many burritos have been constructed and are about to be placed into the oven. Music calmly issues from the TV. And yes, a candle burns. I am about to open a book and read and enjoy a bare few moments of my mind relaxing utterly as I sink into a tale of the long ago and still yet to come. And I am ever so grateful for quiet nights such as this. I sigh. My heart slows. The dreams in my soul are being fulfilled better than I ever knew. Peace and love, dear friends.
