Train Station

Spiritual journeys are a bit like waiting at a train station for a train to come.  You are not sure when it will come though you have heard that a train will stop if it sees you waiting.  The train passes by if it sees no one waiting at the station.  So the important thing is to wait.  Show up on a regular basis and be still.  Wait.  You cannot control the train, but you can control your waiting.  The more often you wait or the longer you wait, the more likely the train will come along, pick you up and take you to places you have not been.  The spiritual power is the train.  The station is where you wait in stillness and silence, with hope, faith, but not control.  You don't control the prayer, the mediation.  But you will get nowhere unless you show up.  Some have said it works like that is sobriety.  You are lucky that the sobriety train stopped to pick you up. But you have to stay on the sobriety train.  If you get off, it may not stop at your station next time you want it to.  Once found, don't take the spiritual journey for granted.
