Glad to hear I’m not the only one who’s writing is patchy this week, Alexander. The hangover, both literally and metaphorically, from last weeks business trip has brought me a spring cold and I can’t get motivation to finish any of the four pieces I’m working on. Perhaps a long train trip will give me the inspiration 🤔😁
Great photos and insight as usual. Night running is really good. Glad to hear you’re enjoying Shogun. I’m on episode 6 I think. It’s very good so far 👍🏼
I like this for many reasons. One is because people talk about all the beautiful places in France but forget the strip malls and highways 😆
Another is because I can feel the loosening of the mind’s movements with the train. I’ve taken the train a ton in the 4 years since we moved to Switzerland and ditched out car. Sometimes I take ski day trips 3.5 hours away. The movement and rhythm along with the views give a unique way of witnessing oneself in motion.
Still another reason is the humble acceptance of perceived failures that aren’t failures but just moments in life that shall pass, too.
I loved taking this train ride with you Alexander, looking out the window, watching France roll by, the rain blowing off the window, leaning my head against the glass. I have taken so many European and British trains in my life, and have so many vivid memories. Thanks so much for taking me back.
Oh how I long for a lovely long train ride like that. Sounds divine. The perfect environment to sit, read, write, think. A great way to travel.
Really enjoyed blend of thoughts and pictures. A perfect and soothing medley for me right now.

I'm gonna ask the question nobody asked so far in the comments: Did you manage to write anything for your novel?
I*'m starting to think that for myself it's either writing a newsletter or writing fiction. Can't do both. It's a dilemma.

Nice! Beautiful pictures, and I enjoyed the raw 1000 words.
