The journey

I'm on the train for the long journey home
Sometimes its quiet 
Sometimes there's a lot of distractions
I need to learn to find comfort
for the long journey home

I watch the scenery out the window
Sometimes it's so beautiful it takes my breath away
Sometimes it's dark and scary
I need to learn to find comfort
for the long journey home 

Passengers board and passengers leave
Sometimes the seat next to me is taken by kindness
Sometimes it's harshness
I need to learn to find comfort
for the long journey home

When the scenery is dark and scary 
When the next seat is filled with anger 
I want to leave the train
"this isn't the right train" I tell myself

But this is the train home 
My heart longs to be home 
so 
I need to learn to find comfort

After all,  the scenery and the passengers
come and go
I am just a traveler on the long journey home

My teacher, Ed

When I heard the news of Ed's passing I think I was in shock.  I knew he wasn't well but I still wasn't prepared for this news. ...
