My paltry string of Christmas lights looks silly on the door frame. It lights only one side and has no pleasing symmetry or balance. It makes Charlie Brown's Christmas tree look like a prize winner standing in the square of Rockefeller Center. Oh well... We do what we can. Still, it feels good to do something to mark the season, to fend off some of the darkness that closes in during this cold and dark time. The silly lights do warm part of me that needs some help when the doors feel like they will never open. Time to build a fire, take down the guitar, sing some sad songs, and gather to share stories of heart and light.
