Joy is the death of peace. The swan song of a home’s comfortable melody. Beautiful, grand, and so very telling. I have never been able to rest in the company of joy.

Melancholy holds you tightly within the arms of so many long lost friends, a bitter touch, sweet in its...

I am trudging across snow that is sparkling and the snowflakes falling are like diamonds from the sky. This bleak, flat landscape stretches out in front of me for miles. The cold air stings my face as I continue walking, I know if I stop I will not be able to start again and it’s freezing so I can’t stop. It feels like hours since I started walking and there’s no end in sight. I do not see anythin...
