Have you ever felt like you are in a tunnel and are faced by a dark dark path, with a glimmer of light, perhaps way down at the end?  And, have you been in fear that the light is a train?

Well, here is the thing:  maybe it is a train, or maybe it is an exit, or maybe it’s something else.  Still, if it is a train, ever stop to realize; hey, that train got in here; and, it’s probably going to get out?

Usually, there is plenty of room for one person, and one train, no matter how scary, to coexist in the same tunnel.  Just the fact that it could be a train, is actually a good sign there are at least two ways out of the tunnel.  Being realistic, you probably need to lay down or step to the side to let the train go by as it gets closer.  Then you have to follow it or head in the direction it came from to get out.  You even have a small chance of getting the train to stop, if you happen to have a mirror, or a flash light or cigarette lighter, etc.  Then you get a ride and maybe a free cup of coffee and meet some new friends as well.  Picture in the paper… you get the idea.

The thing is, by being realistic, while being postive, you can turn what many people consider an analogy of doom (a train is the light at the end of the tunnel) into what it is:  several ways out.

It’s all about choices and perspective.  It’s always all about choices and perspective.

Peace and love on the tracks,
