At birth, we boarded the streetcar and met our parents, and we believed they will always travel by our side. However, at some stop, our parents will step off the car and leave us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, others will board the car ... siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life. Some will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will offer joy, or sorrow, or fantasy and expectations, with hellos, goodbyes, and farewells.
A pleasant journey consists of having a good relationship with the other passengers as the car rolls along, and giving our best. We cannot know at which stop we ourselves will step down. So we must live in the best way possible, and love and forgive, and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty, we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the rails of life.
I wish you a joyful journey. Reap success, and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey. Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my car.
