Last Light, Octavia Lawson

The pandemic gave me space to appreciate the small things that can bring joy. I learned to love every shadow and cherish every sunset. I found comfort in the slow days and warm sun. I would wait all day to watch the house fill with a warm golden glow. There was a special magic about this time that always helped distract from the anxieties that plague the soul. I felt protected by the light and reminded to not let the darkness take away from the world's beauty.
