☀️

I just noticed today, actually, the sun tacked up at 5 O'Clock. No intentions of going anywhere for another several minutes. I felt comforted, too, by the possibilities it gives.

Interesting, those same opportunities exist without it, but we forget. Like old patients of the sun-down, who are docile or lethargic. I appreciate our conscious taking a little yawn and peeking out at old pass times.

It's such a simple idea that light gives hope, and lends itself to activity. As we get older, I want to talk about these front-porch topics with you.

The weather. The neighborhood. The children. The men. Life doesn't need to be much bigger than that, because we can get a sun dial, or lay some brick, or teach a lesson, and it doesn't inflate us, rather, it fills in the blanks.

The way the sun does after a dark December.
