Reflection: Thoughts while traveling cross-country by Train

The train is a community of strangers

brought together by self-imposed

circumstance.


The Dinning Car is the place where strangers

become acquaintances over Breakfast and

friends over Supper.


On the train you are never know whom

you will meet and make a connection with.

For the train is a place of diversity

which becomes a community through common experience.


The train is America on a micro-scale

many creeds, races, and origins

brought together in a common adventure.


The train proves that we can co-exist with, learn from,

and find comfort in the company of each other.

Thus, providing a poly-ethnic smorgasbord of cultural wonder.


I think we need more trains
