Mountain Goat!
Many years ago, before you were even born,
I rode a train.
It was an old train that burned coal.
It was very crowded and there were no seats to even be had.
I stood against the window that was slightly ajar.
We were traveling in the blackest night.
But I gazed out of the window into the cold blackness.
And I stood for a moment in awe.
A million tiny stars followed us as we made our way through the dark night.
Suddenly I didn't feel alone.
It took a moment to understand.
It was the red hot embers of the coal dust,
that flew up into the sky,
Shining bright for just a moment,
drifting down slowly onto the tracks.
Slowly burning away into nothingness.
It was a wonder to behold!

Merry Christmas and may you have a Happy New Year.
