"Waiting for a Train"

Today's post is inspired by many of the recent, lo-res, cell phone cam photographs that John H Mora has been taking recently. While I'm at it, there's as much of a nod due to Paul Hockett at monkeyinfez and the ever so sweet postings at Woolgathersome.

"A Going Far Back to Coals"
digital collage by Mick Mather

First of all, the title of today's post comes from Pony Credo at Herbert Pfostle's Blind Pony Books blog. To be fair, the tugging at my insides, of which Mr. Pfostle is but one important part, truly hails from much time spent with my brand new favorite, Woolgathersome. There's a genius of image and word at these places (other links at each blog offer even more fruit) that I've never stumbled into before. I'm torn, turned, a little afraid, lured and skewered by the dark and the dim of it even as lights go on for me in deep recesses that offer a safe path ... if I can only get to it. So far, I'm not certain that I want to. Then, I read again from his credo: "A going far back to coals and cruelties and sobbing like songs in whiskey and blood." Hey! Bartender!
