Tickets please

 


At a very early age we discover our mobility.  Everything is fresh and new and exciting.  We grow strong, enjoying all of our moving parts.

 

Soon we become aware of the tracks, so we explore and test our boundaries.  This is great.

 

As we learn about friction and motion, we also find that parts wear out.  We are beginning to require service.  Over time we see the mechanic more often and accept the realization that the track only goes in one direction.

 

We are making odd noises now and seem to be letting off steam more than usual.

 

We are tired as we head to the station and by the time we actually arrive, we understand it's how it must be.   We've had a good run, seen some things along the way and are now looking forward to the quiet.

 

The station is a welcome site.  It feels right and we come to a full stop.
