Gautrain

So eventually...I took the Gautrain...and not to sound too clichéd but in South Africa it really is something to love! It makes Jozi peak just a little higher in ranking than the mother city...hehe! And even though it doesn't run exactly like clockwork; the doors open and close a few times to let stragglers in, it is still the best thing in Jozi transport since the updated version of the taxi... I suppose it doesn't take much to make it at the top of the public transport system in SA, but the Gautrain does provide quite a bit of distraction from the other issues at hand. Its sleek and it speeds through traffic, you cant help but love that!

There is no title because there is no reason for me to write...And that is the challenge right there...finding things to love, to be grateful for when life is speeding by...to sometimes get off the train and just sit on the bench and wait for the next one. To take the risk of being left behind and rather take the time to think about where you're going, why you're going and what you love about it...before you get there. So guess I can say I am grateful that in this place I call home I have people I call friends who also feel this way. We all want and need to take time this time. And some of my best moments in this city are when we sit on a Saturday morning in a bustling coffee shop and stop. Contemplation is often associated with serene locations and sounds of the gentle breeze and birds...but not necessarily in Jozi!
