Central Station
Ever since we spoke about it I think of my head as a train station.
Sometimes the station is calm.
With only one train headed in one direction.
Other times the station is busy.
With hundreds of different tracks filled with hundreds of different trains of thought.
Ready to leave to hundreds of different destinations.
Sometimes I get stuck on a train and I can't get off.
I keep trying to jump off and catch another train.
Or just roll off and stop moving altogether.
The worst is when I'm davvening.
The N.H. sends me trains to all kinds of places as soon as I open the siddur.
Brat.
One day I hope to learn the skill of stopping a train of thought.
"Sorry," I'll say.
I"'m not going there today."
Tonight the hour is late.
All is quiet.
The conductors have gone to bed.
One lone train stands waiting patiently to leave.
This train of thought is leaving the station...
....................
Why do people feel the need to be right?
I wish being right was never invented.
All the evils of the world come from the desire to be right.
Ok, maybe not all of them.
But it makes life horrid...
Really.
Can someone please remove the part of the brain/heart that so desperately desires to be right?
Replace it with something more useful.
Like the the desperate desire to be honest.
Or the desperate desire to bake chocolate cupcakes for all the people you love.
Or just the plain old ability to be wrong.
For goodness sake.
Train
of
thought
slowing
to
a
halt.

Good night.
Lights out at Central Station.
Here's wishing you an incredible day, full with the joys of tes adar.
L'Chaim to only riding on positive, uplifting, inspiring, constructive, happy, loverly and scenic trains of thought.
