The Nook / after the lanterns come on
A little magic.
A place to stay.
Moonlight on the water. Something warm in your hands.
The music can wait until you’re ready.
The little bar
What are you having?
A make-believe menu. A very real invitation to put the kettle on.
Your cup is waiting.
No reservation needed
Pick your corner.
By the window for a little ocean. By the piano for a little company.
Both chairs are open.
A note left in the other chair ↗The television / no breaking news
A window inside the room.
The Current, on the little screen. Images only. Nothing to keep up with.
The Morning Grew a Room
Open The Current full size ↗Stay for one song. Stay for the quiet between them.
Sometimes I’m at the keys. Sometimes I’m talking. Sometimes there’s just music in the room.
You can leave something if you want. No assignment attached.
