Not quite darkness
This year’s Earth Hour has ended. Or, it has been passed along to the neighbours, barely tested. We could easily have foregone candles here; simply drawn back the shades and let the light from across the street bathe our living room in the extra lumens. But, any symbolic act remains just that, and my family now realizes how difficult it is to interrupt the daily train of activities, even for a simple sixty minutes on the hourglass.
