The Train

There is something seriously humbling about standing beside the train as it races past.
It shakes my bones and leaves me with a craving for adventure and freedom.
As it slows by the station, I imagine myself hopping one of those cars and just letting the ride take me wherever.

So let life happen like a train.
Let life take you where it pleases.
All you have to do is jump on that boxcar and let the train tracks do the rest.
Don’t forget you can get off whenever you please.
You can also change stations and take another train in the opposite direction, if you wish.
Or you can just hop off and walk a while.

As I stood there, with the whistle blasting through my headphones and into my cells.
Reverberating its rhythm throughout my entire being.
It shook me to the core and left me unpretentious.
