It is amazing how the difference of just turning off the lights in the house can be. It changes the feeling of the room, focus of thought and peacefulness that comes with it. To sit in front of the fireplace with someone or alone maters not on if the feelings will change, because the feelings will change because your senses have. The simplicity of just turning off a switch is that it also turns on a different one in your mind and heart. It is one that recognizes the the difference, adjusts to it's surroundings and then pour throughout your soul. A simple fireplace with a roaring fire can cause such a difference. Lights on and your focus sees everything in it's view. The things in the room that make your eyes wander. Lights off and your focus becomes more concentrated on the things that are more important that are happening in the room. The crackle of the fire, the smell of burning wood and the idea of staying warm. You pay more attention to bright flames as they dance throughout the wood and their striking color. It is a beautiful sight, a calming one. 

All because you turned off the light.
