"This train stop in Japan has no entries or exits; it has been put there merely so that people can stop in the middle of a train journey and admire the scenery".

Waves of scorching heat
Smear across the land while flames
Devour our future

Utter not a sigh
If these days you're as scared as
Glad to be alive

"I met an Aborigine in Arnhemland, Australia -- his nephews showed me symbols where I saw trees and rainbows through smoked glass. They could see fish through clouded water. I couldn't even see my own reflection. I must have forgotten how."

"Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?"

Terrence Malick's "The Thin Red Line" is an all-time favorite.

50 years ago, on this day, Portugal shook the yoke of fascism in a peaceful revolution -- excepting secret police agents who fired on an unarmed civilian crowd...

The "Carnation Revolution" of 1974 paved the way for democracy and civil liberties and is now a national holiday.

Flaps sun dress draping summer
