I look up from my computer, the front room of my west facing home suddenly aglow. Wheat colored rays pierce through the blinds that cover the front window, washing over the room. Cool white natural light, now warm and golden. The temperature remains the same, but warmth washes over me. A sweet illusion on a cold winter’s day, welcome.
Shadows dance on the wall as a tree outside flutters, disturbed by the sharp wind, whipping and unforgiving. It won’t be long now before darkness will overtake this lighted sanctuary, and the shadows will disappear into a temporary void.
