With a steaming mug of hot herbs in my quiet enclave it’s wisdom I seek.
Whether a rolling stock of valuable liquid assets or fixed stock, like rails, make sure all stock be LOVE STOCK … Of course y’all know this!
Where we ride on the Soul Cavalcade Mixed Train depends on our enormous positive effort to our life foundation, a sound and steadfast life-love rail stock.
Oh Lordy, didn’t early section hand railroad workers have it extremely rough? Hard labor, earning “poor” wages in “poor” working conditions. These Gandy Dancers with their time-keeping hollers, laid maintained, and aligned track amongst the ballast, to make rails solid for the good of all the assorted folk riding. Life Gandy Dancers of sorts is what we are. The symbolic rails we lay down in life has to be unconditional love to support where we go and what we do. All rail networks affect All. With great love, the collective payload is golden.
Rolling stock? Fixed Stock? It seems we travel in life, rolling stock, and then find a place to work a little, fixed stock … sounds like a migrant worker hobo! We choose what, when, where, how. An easy mark might point the way to a soup bowl. Some decide not to be padding the hoof or doggin’ it and catch the Southbound Train. No freight hopping for the bum who prefers California blankets. On the fly a tramp could settle for the cattle car. For the price of boil up in glad rags, ‘Bo’s with a bindle stick in hand might say “No dog-boxes, only civilized train travel in the Pullman car for me! Whether you’re a passenger on the main drag in a Cannonball cargo car or on a rolling stock parlor car cruising past a Big house, Bone orchard, or jungle … stock matters, make it Love Rails, make it Love Stock.
Stop the train, Gandy Dancers ahead! Can I blow the whistle?
