there was a first part but it wasn't called part one. now it seems it's always been part two. i'm sorry i was testy, i'm sorry i didn't listen well, i'm sorry i was not empathic, i'm sorry my love was stifled. the light is dwindling and will be for another ten days. i wish we could kindle some light of our own. outside is so dark and fraught and it's far more than winter. it's a time when perhaps the only peace or fairness or love likely or possible is inside. let's watch a movie, let's read quietly, let's kindle something we want for the common good.
