Warm light before bed isn't comfort, it's a signal to the body. A blue screen says "day," a barn lamp says "that's it, shift's over."

I don't read for the sake of "reading." I read for the sake of this pose: a blanket, a lamp, and no one expecting anything from you for the next forty minutes.

Sometimes it's enough to hold her in your lap. An evening doesn't have to be productive—it has to be evening.

And this is a full-time activity. Rest, which must be earned, doesn't work as rest.
