A train journey, out of the city.

I sit near a window to catch the mid-morning sun. I watch as the urban concrete is gradually replaced by rolling green.

I write.

I reflect.

I observe.

I’m aware of the sun’s warmth striating across my face, my body.

Beautiful light, and shadows.

In that moment there is no thought, no stress, no having to be anywhere or do anything.

Just light, and shadows.

I put in my earphones, recline my seat, press play on my iPod and settle in for the rest of the journey.

I can feel my spirit rising.
