"I climb quickly against the cold winter wind, eyes on the ground ahead of me to avoid stumbling. Not until I have reached the top of the hill and turned to face the south where the stars are brightest do I look upwards, greeting them all." C.R.Milne #WinterSolstice #LongestNight
I hope one day these scars turn into stars.
