Locomotion

I was sitting at the train station, more like waiting for the train to go by so I could cross the tracks and go home. It was raining, not hard, just a light rain. Trains go back and forth day after day. They don't need to turn around; they just reverse direction and drone on. I realized this was the epitome of my current life. Back and forth. There and back again. On a track I cannot get off. Brief stops along the way but always the same starting point, same destination and reverse. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Not even remotely rewarding considering the work it takes to manage it.

Trains are powerful and sometimes deadly things. They effectively carry their load to the intended destination. Big, bad, and occasionally loud.

Not sure if there is a point to this. The picture isn't even that great. Taken with my iPhone as opposed to the digital camera I keep meaning to put in the car but never do. Remembering to do that would require my getting off the track somehow and doing something unexpected. Unplanned.

Not whining. Not complaining. Not seeking attention. Just observing.

Have a blogthing.


Your Snow Test Says You're Independent





You feel like something good will happen to you eventually, but not soon.

You love to work, especially when work is creative. You have the makings of a successful artist.

You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.

Your biggest worry in your life is your health. You tend to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

When it comes time to relax, you have no problem letting go. You are already pretty relaxed as is!

In Perfect Harmony

In June of 2007 I posted my first chapter of Dark December. Since that time, the story has evolved and changed in part through a collaboration that developed and lasted over 4 years. During this time a friendship was forged. Thank you Beth, for unwavering friendship, support, and generosity over these last 4+ years. It has been a journey I will never forget.

"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

In dreams, the sun sets in our eyes
In dreams, we'll never be apart
In dreams, I'll promise you'll never be alone
How much I wish your voice could send me home
