Radiant warmth

The shadows are longer these days.  It's only 5 weeks till the shortest day of the year.  People's movements are more abbreviated because the temperature is in the range requiring jackets and coats.  Even people's conversations seem to be more terse than when it's warm.

But, warmth can be found.  Many sit in their homes by fireplaces.  Some drink hot drinks - hot teas, hot chocolates, and coffees - at various Starbucks and other casual drink shops around town.  Many just find a warm spot and hibernate for a time in that spot.

Me?  Oh, I just look into my heart for the warmest spot there.  I know exactly where it is.  It creates warmth every time I look into it.  The scenes creating the warmth radiate across time and across place.  This winter won't be so cold, the days won't seem so long, there is no need for a jacket on my heart, and conversations will be played once again for they are a part of the warmth.
