Reading in the Dark



















The combination of storm and a blackout sent me straight to the Dark Ages last week: no television, no Internet, no mobile phone. Thankfully, I'm old enough to have grown up during the time when Lent or Holy Week entailed similar deprivations. So I resorted to what I love best: reading. I was amazed at how much reading I had accomplished with all the modern distractions taken away, and also relieved that I'm still capable of sitting down for a few hours at a time.


Sometimes, a candle, a good novel and coffee are all you need.
