28.7.13, random thoughts on the train – may need revision lol

Sometimes when I am traveling by train I don’t feel like doing anything. I just want to enjoy the beautiful landscape outside the window, scenes that passing so quickly that I might only have one chance to see it in my life. Not only is the landscape beautiful; they are inspiring.  I have the feeling that the constantly changing landscape triggers thoughts and imagination. I sometimes see something, and then think about something for a while, forgetting that I am now traveling on a train or even forgetting that I am right now in Germany. It is cool to think that your thoughts, not the train, actually carry you for quite a long distance. I also usually have this feeling – it’s hard to describe – that in the morning i am at one place, and in the afternoon I am at another. And in just a few days I can leave my footprints in a lot of places – for example, in the eleven days during the two courses I have been to 11 cities and towns in Germany, from south to north, almost covers the entire Germany. I see things, I go to places, and I left. I am inspired and perhaps in someway changed, but the old palaces, houses and castles of hundreds years of history remain largely intact and unchanged. Is this the magic of space and time, that something eternal, or seemingly eternal, like those historical sites, leaves mark on something mortal like human beings? I don’t know, but it feels magical.
I was just writing down random thoughts, so It is a bit illogical… If you can understand what I am talking about or what I feel, you probably either have a super-nature understanding ability, or you have similar experience as I.
