Sunday meditation: Coming home

It has turned a lot colder. When the moon comes out it is rather prettily ringed with a misty, frosty corona. The chimney of Salts Mill, near-silhouetted against the darkening sky, tells me that I'm almost home, where a warm and welcome cuppa awaits. I love coming home.
