Light

I enjoy the increase in sunlight which becomes evident in January. Gaining by minutes, day by day, the daylight becomes stronger and warmer on the skin. While cooking my evening meal, I can watch the Sun's slowed descent behind a large spruce tree. Each evening, it sets a little further to the right of the tree's center. I feel the Earth beneath my feet; I am riding the giant globe, spinning in vast space. I appreciate the atmosphere, the breath in my lungs, the food on the stove, and my life.
