She sat on a park bench late Christmas night a hallmark moment in my memory. For relaxing there, she was quite the sight her face shone as if buffed by emery. The soft snow lay like a fluffy duvet covering all in a blanket of white. And sitting slouched in a casual way, her silhouette stood out in the moonlight. She blended right in with the Yuletide mood earphones on, listening to Christmas songs. And finding her there I didn't intrude for in her mind, she was where she belongs. There are many ways to gift a present sometimes, simply by not being present. Nov. 24, 2018

Without even being conscious of it, I smiled at the crossed legs, and the gift of solitude. I can so relate, because solitude is something I am immensely happy about.
