1062. night train mantra

 

clickety clacking
magic mantra of night trains
instant transcendence 🦊❤️ 

As I looked at the abandoned railroad tracks disappearing into the heavy brush, I thought about the long ago sounds of freight trains, laden with coal, traveling through the night. Long before I knew what meditation was, the clickety clack of the laboring trains were like a mantra that took my childhood mind to stillness and a sense of peace. 🦊❤️
