About Around the Campfire
Something ancient and unhurried settles over a group gathered around a campfire after dark. The wood crackles, sparks drift upward toward a sky full of stars, and someone always starts a story that makes the shadows feel a little closer. S'mores appear, graham cracker, chocolate, and a marshmallow singed just right, and for a while the whole world shrinks to the warm circle of firelight.
