Morning Train

The problem with writing is that true thought is wordless, so when you want to express wordless things with words, it's never going to be entirely accurate.  The tools that words are, while a truly wonderful thing (when used correctly, or a horrible thing when used otherwise) are always going to do an imperfect job of conveying what you want to convey.  And so it is today, as I sit on an early morning train, speeding through Tokyo.  This morning has been a smoothly flowing one... so far!  You  never know what's going to happen after all.  When you're in a smooth flow, the many elements of... everything, the people around you, the things around you, the temperature, the smells (or lack thereof), the atmosphere... everything... comprise the total picture of the value of existence.

"Rain Train Thoughts..."

I was riding across town on the train in the rain - idly looking out the window and thinking that I'd like to describe the sights, sounds, and general atmosphere - in words.  It's not really possible, but here goes:  Sea of houses and an assortment of other types of buildings flow by the wet windows, the speed of the train... is strangely felt through the concert of sights and the sound of the electric motors running at speed.  Music playing through my earphones adds atmosphere and a purposeful feeling of timelessness on the one hand, and a lack of time on the other....
