My daughter resides in Washington but is employed in Baltimore. Frequently, she travels by train between the two cities and during these journeys, she sends me photographs. These images often depict bleak, colorless forests; at other times, infinite horizons captured from immense bridges where the sea’s end and the sky’s beginning merge into a continuous, uniform gradient. Or perhaps abandoned tracks that seem relics of railways from the previous century. I envision her rising from bed, mentally reviewing her schedule, hastily drinking coffee, and heading to the station, anonymous amid the urban throng. Then, seated by the window, she listens to the rhythmic progression of the train as it departs the station. This rhythm gradually lulls her into a semi-conscious state where past, present, and future dissolve, and memories, worries, plans, and desires blend; time passes, flows, and its cyclic nature transforms into a dance. External and internal visions merge into a single whirl of thought. Her mind operates autonomously, making decisions, discerning clarity in life’s complexities, rendering everything more bearable; all seems possible. Upon arriving at Baltimore station, I imagine her alighting, stepping into the city renewed with purpose and optimism for the future. For the moment, the dance of time pauses, awaiting the return journey.
