Station

Offspring the First is on her way back to college. She took the train - an epic 12 hour trip across the desert badlands.  She will likely sleep much of the way.  We hope she has a safe journey.  We are wistful at her departure from home. 

Herself waited in the train station until Offspring the First climbed aboard.  It is a warm and inviting station, full of light, air, and the promise of adventure.  Herself is happy for Offspring the First, who faces the future with a spring in her step and a train ticket in her hand.  

Herself would like very much to take a train. Somewhere. Anywhere. A small suitcase, a pair of comfortable shoes, and endless possibilities.

Someday.
