ENGRISH

one of the interesting experiences i have had thus far in my journeys has been riding the overnight train to a neighbouring city.  three-tiered bunk beds just wide enough for one person line the cabin and if you’re fortunate enough to get a top bunk (as i was), you get to sleep all night half-afraid of rolling off and half-afraid of hitting your head on the ceiling.  makes for great jet-lag aggravation.  ;p  additionally, you must sleep before the lights turn out at 9 and even more importantly, you should take care of any business before the night comes.  otherwise, you’re setting yourself up for a rather smelly, bumpy experience.  there is not toilet to speak of.  just a cubicle with a hole in the floor through which you can see the ground rushing past (and feel the wind too!).  anyway, right outside of this “toilet,” there is a garbage can.  a sign with an arrow pointing down is posted just above it.  “RUBBISH SPOT,” it denotes.  what a great description of the garbage can.  what a great description of our hearts.

so many spots in our lives are full of rubbish.  and it’s only by grace that our rubbish spots are ever emptied and cleaned!
