Enlightened Travelling

 I live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. My route to work via a rail train takes me along the coast for part of the way. The only thing between me and the ocean is a window.

Today the view just seemed more spectacular and bright. I see it each day but today seemed different. On further inspection I noticed that the window was cleaner than usual and looked newer. Looking around me I noticed the entire carriage had been refurbished. It all looked brand new and the lights were working and bright!

It got me to thinking how often we perceive things outside the window to be dark and gloomy and less spectacular simply because we our internal space is not well lit (enlightened). I have posted before about dirty windows and how that changes what we see - but this is broader.

Once we clean up and light up our inner carriage - our view of the world outside will be that much brighter and the journey more enjoyable.
