Train trips and journeys into the familiar via the unknown used to be fearful for me. Now I relish them. The unknown holds a magic that shows itself when I'm ready. Sometimes it takes 3 years post lockdown, sometimes it takes 57 years.
I'm not the person I was when I started out and I'm glad I'm not. The fears have gone and excitement has replaced them. A very similar physical feeling except one is filled with positive anticipation. Self doubt no longer shows up in bold, bossy letters in my mind. In all of these trips, the best gift of all is trust.
Trust in the drivers, the signals, the vehicles and the journey itself. Much like life. I now trust it to be filled with good no matter what.
It's a wonderful feeling and everyone is invited, no train trip necessary ( but it helps)
All aboard!
