Train adventures into the desert and stories about loss

Loss is everywhere at the moment.
So many houses, towns, animals and lives lost.
My cousin and his family have no home. They also lost the zephyr car that had been a family tradition. Paridoxically my aunt appears more accepting than I am about this - the need to move on.
The indiginous people move on all the time, there's is not a permanent life. They have few posessions and keep very little of the things we take as a given. The huge larder and mass of clothes and furniture. Not to mention all the electronical and electrical gadgets we can't live without.
So do I buy lots of these things or do I go on another train journey(!)
I would love a winter soujorn on a train - quick winter is almost over in the Northern Hemisphere.
Help - 6 minutes left on this computer.
For some reason I find it so much more productive to write in a library, or work, or somewhere else. The library will be closing in 5 minutes.
So goodbye.
I have meetings and photos to take. Films to watch.
7 Pounds - Hollywoods facination with giving your life for others. But death by jellyfish????????
