There is a great big world which is right outside of our door. This is alive and well, even if we don't choose to see it. I think, of course, and wonder of places such as certain cities, like say, places that I've only seen in pictures, like San Francisco or maybe Wyoming or even Alaska. Or then again, my pilgrimage to anywhere could begin from anywhere; in which case, I have this urge to board a train and ride the railroads that span across our country. This way, I can see it all. I want to do this, maybe someday soon. I want to write what I see, as if my words were painted onto a canvas. I want to detail the people I'd meet who work the trains and learn about their lives and hear about how they live. I want to see the scenery change as well as the culture and the visions of the sunsets. I want to begin with my sunrises, which have always come up above the Eastern seaboard. This is where I'd begin.
