What fascinated me from travelling by train is witnessing the view along the way, especially in the morning. Rice, corns, sugar canes and other crops fields made beautiful breath taking shades of green and yellow with the mountains, hills or just simply bright blue sky as the background perfecting the view.
What caught my attention more is the brief daily life activities view from the people along the way that got my mind wandering with multiple questions. Do they feel happy and content with their life now? What's really going on inside each of those beautiful minds? How they spend the rest of their day after those brief moment I witnessed from my window? I know those what I consider simple daily life in the rural area are actually the one that have bigger role sustaining life in this country.
I asked myself, how am I going to be as a person if I have to be the one filling in any of their shoes? Will I survive? Is what I consider as thriving in life changed? Will I whine over small stuff as much as I do now? Will I feel content and grateful as I am now?
I am hoping one day, when I am not bound with all this routine I will be lucky enough to have opportunity to spend sometimes experiencing those rural life. Maybe I will try to plow fields, set both of my feet in the mud, planting seeds, harvesting crops, let the sun and the wind caress my spoiled skin to cast all of my urban demanding burdens away.
I find serenity from watching different shades, vary life, diverse people with their own activity and role passing me by. Accompanied by favorite songs heard from my headset, it made feel like I am in my own music videos.
