We are all passengers on a train moving through time, the landscape of our future blurring past the window. We don't hold the timetable; we cannot see the final destination. We choose our compartment, we sit beside a fellow traveler, and we hold on. In the quiet uncertainty of the journey, the gentle rocking of the carriage, we cultivate a fragile yet resilient hope. It is not a loud certainty, but a quiet whisper that the tracks lead somewhere better, that the next station will bring light. This hope is the quiet engine of the everyday. It is the fuel for our survival, the thing that makes us lift our heads and look out at the rushing world, ready for whatever view appears next.
