From my latest newsletter:

The grey wolf.

In my dream a massive grey wolf was loping alongside a railway train, one of those old steam trains of the American West, smoke drifting back over the twighlit boxcars, filled with wild animals and people. Mile after mile he ran, the wolf, tireless, a dark threatening presence.

I woke up, disturbed, worried about the foreboding sense of danger - Then I realised that the wolf was me. And the train was the idea of 'progress'.
