Winter has brushed our doorsteps.

White powder on the windows.

White powder in our hair.

No better time to stay inside. Stretch our bodies on the flushed floor, heated by the dusty furnace and our ever smoldering hearts.

I firmly believe that there’s a “right” time to read a certain book. It’s okay if you’re interested in a book and it sits on your shelf for years. Maybe it didn’t call out to you when you wanted something to read because it was waiting for the right time to mean the most to you. Not saying this is always the case, but this has happened enough to recognize the magic.
