The sound of a train is soothing to me. I like the sound of the rythmic double-thump from the steel wheels as I sit in a stainless steel box hurling down glittering steel tracks at 60mph. You don’t feel a sense of movement, which is relaxing. A lot of music owes its appeal to this vibe and if you listen, you can hear the sound of a train clearly.

Enjoy your trip today!

Seventy-Three

A brave and passionate man will kill or be killed.
A brave and calm man will always preserve life.
Of these two which is good and which is harmful?
Some things are not favored by heaven. Who knows why?
Even the sage is unsure of this.

The Tao of heaven does not strive and yet it overcomes.
It does not speak and yet is answered.
It does not ask, yet is supplied with all its needs.
It seems at ease, and yet if follows a plan.

Heaven’s net casts wide.
Though its meshes are coarse, nothing slips through.

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tsu
