I felt a little sadness lurking while riding a late night train last night. Most everyone looked done in, exhausted, almost sick, and it was only Monday. Either they had a non-stop weekend or a non-stop Monday. I hope it was the weekend because I don’t know, at this rate, how they’ll get through the week. I saw lots of heaviness on the faces of my fellow passengers. Only the conductor looked alert and rather happy. If it’s the job that’s doing this, let them please find something that adds not subtracts to their being. A couple of people were bent over with heads against the seat in front of them. Hmm! When the train arrived at their station, they lifted themselves from the seat as if their bodies were holding them down. As we stopped at each station along the way, weary looking people, gathered their belongings, and walked up the aisle. I wasn’t staring, but even if I was, they wouldn’t have noticed. Their thoughts were far away.
