The Carrier
I caught a train from Bristol back home to Cardiff yesterday. The weather was quite miserable and getting worse as the train got closer to the channel. I was next to a window, facing backwards, laptop to hand and headphones quietly playing Lustmords remix of parabola.
As i listened, the mood sank low and made me feel lonely. Then there was this surreal feeling of dread as i gazed out of the window at the linear patterns that travelled along with me and the heavy sky sat in the backdrop.
But then i remembered, on my way to Bristol, I listened to an Einaudi collection. And felt incredibly relaxed, despite the weather.
============================
Trains are great carriers of feelings.
