MythsAboutAddiction - The Monday Morning Memo

“One day on the Nullarbor the train suddenly ran into a wall of water, a rainstorm so fierce the windshield wipers could not, for some minutes, keep the glass clear. When the storm passed to the east and the sun broke through the trailing clouds, we saw a double rainbow off to the south. It seemed to span a dozen miles of the desert. In the same moment we saw more than a hundred kangaroos bounding north and west across the plain, then veering away to the west as they approached the train tracks and the hurtling train. The sight of it was so exhilarating the three of us in the cab nodded an affirmation to one another. Whatever was wild and lyrical in the timeless world, we were in the middle of it now. For some reason we all felt compelled to shake hands.”

- Barry Lopez, Horizons, (2019) p. 392
