Once upon a time, perhaps I’d have just been getting home… Tonight I am unexpectedly awake in the wee hours restlessly not falling asleep after waking up a bit earlier to pee.
There’s a soft glow in the room, given off by the 3D printed votive holder my Traveling Partner made for me over the holidays. It’s a lovely reminder that I am loved, and although I am awake I am relaxed, calm, and content with meditating for a few minutes, writing a few words, and giving sleep another try.
The house is quiet. My partner sleeps. I am safe and comfortable.
I yawn. Perhaps now I will sleep.
