Theosophia: Nighttime Train Ride
http://theos0phia.blogspot.com/2010/09/nighttime-train-ride.html
My search for knowledge of things divine. Monday, September 6, 2010. I'm off to visit family up in Oregon! I'm taking a train overnight - which I actually find sort of romantic. I'll drift and dream and wake up someplace new. Anyhoo, I won't be posting for a bit. Lots to do before fall quarter starts. I plan to keep up the blog during school, though there may be bigger gaps between posting I'm afraid. Hope ya'll have a great Eid! Have a great trip! September 7, 2010 at 9:07 AM. Cairo, lusaka, amsterdam.

As the War on Terror drags into its 14th year, we are living out some of the naysayers dire predictions. I will admit I...
