Finally back at my cozy corner enjoying some tea and leisure time. Months had passed since my last visit, even though this place is close to my residence. A realization that distance is not always a good indicator of frequency.

Though nothing much has changed environmentally, the companionship is now different. My belongings now sit on the empty chair opposite. Having the whole time to myself, I indulge in reading, observing, and thinking.

A couple of years isn't a very long time. But many things have changed.
