A little girl of six
She sits legs folded beneath her
Watching for the speeding train,
As it whizzes past her
She is enthralled by its speed
and time is lost to her within the seconds of its speed

Shobana’s writing exemplifies that even fewer words can put forth an effective message. A child’s curiosity and fascination are limitless. Being immersed in the moment is something we humans outgrow, and it isn’t a matter of pride. To be carried away by a feeling of exhilaration and yet still find oneself reflecting upon what just happened takes a light spirit and an open mind.
Congratulations Shobana!

Your story reminds me a little of myself when I was little Shobana. We lose so much of our imagination as teenagers and adults. Your story reminded me of how I use to watch the drops of water coming down the bath tub while I was in it and pretending they were horses and it was a race to get back in the bath water. I could have done that for a long time. Congratulations on your story and blessings to you. Hugs, Joni
