The end or just the beginning? a journal entry by Linda Young

I was several hours from home one weekend recently when I looked out the window from where I was eating dinner and saw these trash containers.  Thoughts crossed my mind about how this restaurant processed the waste.  Then, on our way home, I saw a train full of garbage containers which must have been a mile long and wondered where they were headed to and what was to become of what was inside.  Was it the end of the line at a dumping site for the garbage inside them?  Was it just the beginning of a spiral called garbage that is spinning out of control?
