I was out getting gifts. I was missing my family at an arm’s length, not saying I wanted to be back there, but saying I want the cake and I want to be eating it (with them, but only when I want). I was out wondering about the length of time away, above, and how to find the width.

Outside of the wooden arched doors of a Russian Orthodox Church, real Christmas trees are bundled up, waiting to be sold.
