Down to two again

I almost never turn the (idol) T.V. on when I am alone in the house.  It is usually the music that comes on, but even Mazzy Star and Lucinda Williams are silenced for now.

It's the first time since having all the "Original Five" return to their perspective abodes that I am able to reflect on our most recent times together during the Holidays and the college breaks.  There are reminders of their stay here, a black sock left by one of the boys, a tattered coin purse left by Monica in exchange for a new one, Rebekah's cute argyle socks, remnants of Given's clay and tools , a small red chair given to Kindred, but forgotten and books read by Bryden placed around the house.  There are other reminders as well.  The laughter, the questions, the tension, the love, the music and the threads used to continue the tapestry of our lives.  I always try and remind myself whenever we are so blessed to be in the presence of each other to revel in the time and love we have for one another.
I miss them but I trust that they are carrying the light.
The "new two " will be back soon and the volume will be raised.  I delight in that as well. (Most of the time) .
Nosotros Portamos La Luz!
