| Life seems drab this time of year. Not enough sun, not even enough light. Both indoors and out, our mood needs help to stay on an even keel. What kind of help depends on the circumstances and one's taste. Many people like having a fire in the room: A hearth, to burn fossil fuels, coal or wood. I don't. Having seen throat cancer develop in somebody dear to me, because a daily coal fire seemed a necessity, inspite of early warning signs of its being harmful, I shun fires in the house as well as in the garden. Let the PC or TV be the new hearth: a place to gather and share and renew one's thoughts. |
