Long Moment

“You get towards the end of life - no, not life itself, but of something else: the end of any likelihood of change in that life. You are allowed a long moment of pause, time enough to ask the question: what else have I done wrong?” 
― Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

Lazy Winter Morning

I have this special love for sleeping in on winter mornings. The flannel sheets. The hot coffee. The dark sky. There is something soothing about the edges of every day. 

I laid in bed this morning and listened to music.
