A gentle day

Steve will have Laparoscopic surgery tomorrow for an umbilical hernia.   It feels odd because it seems it isn't a big deal but it feels like a big deal.  Any trip to the hospital feels like a big deal to me.

This is good news on high speed rail:

There is a great deal that could Occupy my mind tonight.  Certainly Oakland is there, and yet it seems I can only be with gentleness and peace, and the knowing that each moment rallies courtesy, attention and care.
