"We stopped listening many shocks ago . . . Now the long night, a long silence if we'll let it find us." Thank you, Joseph. I hope the silence washes over and makes us all anew.

"The horror and how it hollows." (How true.)

Happy Solstice to you, Joseph.

Sublime! I particularly love the ending as these days, we humans don't appreciate the silence (the true, deepest silence) as much as we should. It is as vital to our existence as the air we breathe... Happy Christmas and Merry New Year my friend! ☺️🙏
