A Winter Tale (Single)
We measure time in units that begin and end in winter, at Christmas and New Year’s. In winter, in the narrow hours of light and warmth, we pause, we contemplate the passage of time, we feel its rampant passage.
We take stock: here are the rewards only time may bestow: gratitude, friendship and family, ritual, enduring, deep liaisons; here are the depredations it entrains: diminution, loss, irreplaceable loss, futile longing, and fear.
