daily commute, just a regular day, life is a commedienne, no hidden meaning, no hidden messages, trains and train stations, transportation
“Here we are, trapped in the amber of the moment. There is no why.” -Kurt Vonnegut
Yesterday I missed the train by seconds.
It is a weird feeling. To watch it close its doors while you are steps away. You watch it leave and leave you behind.
You feel unwanted. You feel neglected. You feel forgotten. You feel silly and foolish. You feel as if you did something wrong.
What is the message here?
Do I need to get up earlier? Do I need to walk faster? I had gotten up at the same time I normally do and walked at the same speed I normally do. Did the train leave early?
This morning I got up earlier. I walked faster. I got to the train station earlier. I waited and waited.
The train was 10 minutes late! 🙂
What is the message here?
Maybe there is no message. It is just a train behaving like a train.
Life is such a joker!
Tomorrow… tomorrow we don’t know yet.

Well said! Some days I swim, some days I sink and still other days I am able to let go and just float, and life goes on! Wishing you a blessed weekend! 🙂

You have such a great way with words, I love how you felt when the train doors closed, when it happened to me, that’s exactly how I felt!

Hi Eva, I am always looking for signs and trying to find meaning in everything. Everyone and everything can be a teacher. I don’t want to miss any lessons. Or perhaps I should just relax…
Thank you for reading and commenting. Blessings! 🙂
