With so many of our classmates passing, I realize time is drawing near, so I thought I might share a message to all who might see it. It is called The Train. I'm sure many have heard it but it is a great reminder of life.
The Train
At birth we boarded a train and met our parents, and we belieevee they will always travel by our side. As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone. Others will step down over time and leave a permanent vacuum. Some, however, will will go so unnoticed that that we don't realize they vacated their seats. This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leav our seat empty we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
Have a joyful journey everyone.
Love,
Bruce Clawson
