While on a train

There is one thing about myself I never understood:

Why do I feel so good while on a train?

Everytime a train slides through a turn I feel strangely calm and placed. Maybe being on a train is like a comparison to the way I am walking through my own life. Those are the moments, I know I am moving on, I am growing, I am learning. It’s not just about moving from point A to point B.

It’s like the journey itself is a phase of life.
A closed part.
A bit like in a vacuum.

While I am on a train, the world around freezes.
The time stops.
Like I am in my own world, forced to slow down and reflect.

While my subconsciousness is completely balanced I also feel excitement. Because on a new journey I never know what’s gonna appear behind the window. I might catch a glimpse of something I’ve never seen before. These outlooks are making me incredibly happy. And all the time leave me fascinated by the beauty of mother nature and the size of the human spirit. 

Just wanted to share a note I wrote to my private diary 20. 12. 2020.
Photos are from one of my many train trips back in 2008.
