Admiring snow from a train
is a warm experience
for arthritic joints.

Train rides always bring back memories of my childhood. I don't know how old I was when Mom and I rode a train. I remember it was a coal burning trains with a wonderful whistle. I could hear the wheels as it moved along the steel tracks. It was a sort of clickity clack.

Sleep in a real bed
an inspiring idea
my smartphone on the nightstand.

DAY 1889: “ ’Things always happen too soon or too late,’ says Arturo Perez Reverte in The Queen of the South. Do you feel that way, at least sometimes, and can you think of events that happened too early or too late?”

Things happen when they are supposed to happen. We only think they are too late or too soon because we move on a different timescale than either God or the universe.

DAY 2273: Use these words in your entry: binding, tremor, mutant, democracy, furry, bacon.

In the furry of morning
crisp bacon and hot coffee
feed cold, hungry bodies
and fill weary minds with hope.

Hope that the tremors
felt across the planet
are just birth pangs
announcing the nativity
of a new stage in humanity's
collective evolution,
and the spread of

democracy

across the planet.

Hope rises
as xenophobia
the mutant offspring of prejudice
is confronted
by the battalions
of love and unity.
