Stay inside on a nice day to observe the world through a smoky filter. Or, go outdoors and cross off the calendar the task of branching out. Spring-like weather fools the skin, but the brain says let me stoke the February fire a little longer. It is the way of nature, especially since we're rolling…

What a strange existence it would be to only see the sun rise, with its tangerine blaze streaking the sky. Time marches in place, enchanting the heart and tricking the mind. No retreat into dusk. No green rim to kiss the horizon good night. What must it be like to live in a world where…
