taking the train (diary #8)
I took the train today to run some errands. Taking the train is something I feel so priveledged to-do.
Living in America I feel very lucky I live somewhere where walking, biking and taking transit for regular errands is fairly doable. I usually have to take ubers to doctors, but thats about it.
My partner and I are getting an ebike soon - so my access to the world will grow exponentially.
I hate driving so much. To me - it feels like just an utter loss of time. Where I feel so utterly seperated from the present world around me and other human beings.
I think walking and taking the train, on the contrary, make me so much more engaged with my surroundings.
I notice the buildings, the architecture, the people. Today there was someone with a litter of puppies on the train.
I saw the reflection of colored glass sparkling on the sidewalk.
I got an easel at the art supply store, which I had been meaning to pick up for a while.
