The Train

Imagine a train.  On a track, running.  Speeding fast around corners, creating gusts of air as it passes steadily with such direction.  The graffiti on either side isn't legible.   The steam is bellowing, the sound of metal and weight is piecing.  It makes a perfect howl while pushing steadily ahead, who knows where its going but it just is.  Even if it gets off track it is neither good or bad.  

Its symbolic of the track we are all on, neither good neither bad.  We are this train following some direction which is neither yours to judge or yours to perceive as anything but beautiful.  Its a direction that is meant for that person.  We all get off track, we all speed too fast sometimes but we are still going.  Still here, following what is best for each of us.  Along the way there maybe certain stops, certain judgement calls that is perfect for that persons journey.  Why is up to them, how is only theirs.  We can not direct their train, they are the conductor.  When I look at the trains passing me by or coming up behind me I am quick to say that although we may not carry the same freight we are blessed to be moving.  Where I used to categorize good and bad, I don't anymore because it's not mine.  

Input is not important anymore.  Judgement is a waste of time.  Be the train that is moving, evolving and creating its own direction.  Be careful of getting off track and come back to your rout in times of doubt or fear.  A train moves on a track laid out in front of itself, trust that it is perfect for you.  Neither good, neither bad..just is.   Be less concerned at how some can fix their tracks, or how you would do something differently you don't know anyone but yourself.

Where I once was so confused at how someone could collide in a destructive force into my train, I don't care anymore.  It all has some purpose although that answer may not be revealed to you right away.  Keep on in your direction have faith in the tracks that lay ahead and never for a moment fear that it will run into soil.  It is a journey and although some may have seen me get off track, my train continued to move and eventually got right back up to speed.  

You have a choice to keep on, slow down or stay off track either way it is perfect for your jouney in that moment.  It is unique to you and that is a beautiful thing.
