Folded Thought of the Day:


Are you resting assured?...in these nights of our new age.
We're all on a midnight train, travelling through mountain
ranges and desert forests, descending into the man-made
caverns of reason and discipline.  All of us waiting with
ticket ready, to eagerly place into the conductor's hand --
our proof of purchase...that we bought it all from the get-go, 
from the moment we rolled out of the station.

Watching in our covered comfort the day laborers returning
home from their hole-digging efforts.  A million miles under
their belt and a million more to go.  Just another day at
the office.  Covered in soot and debris, the whites of their
eyes shining through this express trip to who knows where.

Can you dig it?  Or are you looking for some way around?
The smart ones know they can't fight nature, so they sit
back and enjoy the ride.  It's those that feel the pang
that you gotta be careful of -- they're the ones that will
argue till they're blue in the mouth that all is right in
the world...that we're on the right track.  Cause they
can't deal with the consequences of circumstance.  Cause
they're better than all this reality.

Gotta love 'em.

How comfortable can you really be sitting in a railroad
apartment, following some pair of iron-willed tracks...with 
a pre-scripted destination?  If you take a few moments and 
allow yourself to indulge in poetic imagination, you might 
just want to throw yourself from this moving machine.

There's no place like home.

Quoting the classics.  Alleviating your degree of involvement.
Yeah, well, snap out of it buddy.  Just be thankful you're 
not piled in with them Boxcar Boys.  Struggling for a little 
space to lay their heads.  Wearing everything they own in 
the world.  But you can't help but hear that song they 
keep singing and wonder if there's space for you to join in.  
Banding together, they can sure fill out the chorus.  And 
there's a heckuva lot more laughter going on back there.  

At what point will you get tired of watching the scenery 
pass you by?
