Ten.One Thousand, Six Hundred & Twenty-Five

1. Quiet.

2. A break in the clouds reveals the morning sky. Fog slowly lifting up from the valley within a valley rising up above the treetops.

3. We are out of firewood. Cold air creeps up my ankles.

4. “No one can lead you to yourself.” - The Secret of the Yamas

5. White column of smoke.

6. I try to explain to her that when she shops, she should think about the gaps in her wardrobe. Do we need another hoodie when we already have five? Maybe you need more shirts? More pants? She gets a hoodie.

7. Mall pretzels.

8. Okay. Let’s get more firewood.

9. Leftover love.

10. Eating cake while watching other people make cake.
