There is a fine fog outside tonight. I first noticed it on the train on the way home after work. A thick fog that colored the familiar ponds and fields and ravines a deep blurry grey.
After dinner, Idriss and I took a walk to the water. The mist dampened our skin and quieted the night. The soft air enveloped the treetops and gave the sycamores that line our block a filmy feel.
I was tired but the fog was so gentle it seemed to fit my mood. The mist combined with the sea and the fresh smell of the earth felt like an herbal tonic. I feel I will sleep well tonight.
