A Place to Think

Hello!

This is my first blog under this new identity. This blog is a place where I come to relax, to vent, to share what's on my mind, and to keep the literary juices flowing in my brain. It is essential to put a thousand words to a page each day, they tell me, and I find words to be more readily accessible when I succeed in following this simple rule.

The iron rails refer to a lonely stretch of railroad tracks where I walk each day. Weather permitting (wooden ties are dangerously slick when wet), the tracks are a place I go to purge my mind of the sludge of daily life. And of living in a deeply divided society which seems to pit otherwise decent people at each others' throats.

I long for a simpler time. The train tracks take me to that serene place, and I hope I can bring you there by way of this simple blog.
