Almost Home

But all the great voyagers return
Home like the hunter, like the hare
To its burrow; below, earth’s axle turns
To speed their coming, the following fair
Winds bless their voyage, blow their safe return.

from The Homecoming, by Barbara Howes

Stayed after work planning for tomorrow even though it was seemed clear there was a slim chance we'd actually be coming in. The weather started as I was headed home, and an hour later school was officially called off. Tomorrow I plan to be more like the hare than the hunter...just hunkered down hoping if the power goes off it won't be for too long.
