The Last Station

I have traveled on this train for more than seven decades, and now I have arrived at what feels like the last station. As I stepped onto the platform, I noticed the train had four long compartments, each with a banner along its side. They were labeled Living, Learning, Sharing, and Venturing. Curious, I entered the first compartment—Living. It seemed endless. As I walked through it, I saw people who were sad, depressed, angry, very happy, and excited. I saw memories of my own life—what I had done, how I had lived, and the people I had interacted with—unfolding as I moved forward. I then entered the next compartment, Learning. It felt similar, yet different. Here, I saw what I had learned over the years, how those lessons had shaped me, and how interactions with others had helped me grow. The remaining compartments—Sharing and Venturing—revealed much the same: events, people, experiences, risks taken, ideas explored, and lessons shared. After walking through all four, I stepped out of the final compartment. At that moment, the purpose of the train called life became clear to me. This website is a reflection of my journey through those four compartments. It is not meant for the public. I share it only with family, friends, and those like you who are here by invitation. If my life can motivate you in some small way, or help you see that life ultimately brings good things, then this website has served its purpose. At times, life may appear difficult—not because the universe gives us a bad life, but because it is preparing us for better things ahead. In the end, it is always a good thing. I hope you enjoy my thoughts—my life, my journey on this train.
