"Genius is finding the invisible link between things." -Vladimir Nabokov
There's nothing quite like taking the train to get from place to place. I've been doing this more so than usual lately due to a temporarily broken down vehicle and I've come to realize that although I used to put the European rail system on a pedestal looking down on that of the States',
there's some magic to be experienced in riding the train through southern California. In a car, we must focus on the road while experiencing only through our periphery the happenings around us. On a train, we have the unique opportunity to take it all in as it seems to rush by. Seeing what we know as home in such a different way offers a brand new perspective on the every day, and I have come to find so much value in that reality.
