MOSHI TRAIN STATION – Where Time Stopped

28/12/2017

“Moshi has a train station?! But there are no trains here!” 2 weeks into my time in Moshi, a town in the north of Tanzania, I found out about the existence of a train station. And as it has turned out, it became my favorite place in Moshi. With the sumptuous Kilimanjaro as a backdrop, it is a place to sit in peace, a place where time stopped and where

"Why do you travel?" I have always struggled to put down in words the answer to this question. But here is an attempt.

I travel to become small.To get slammed by the sea waves. To get swallowed by the mountains. To find beauty in stranger's smiles.
The more I travel, the smaller I become.
The smaller I become, the more alive I feel. 🍃

What about you, why do you travel?

🇵🇹 "Porquê que viajas?" Eu sempre tive dificuldade em colocar em palavras a resposta a esta pergunta. Mas aqui vai uma tentativa.

Eu viajo para me sentir pequena. Para ser atingida pelas ondas do mar. Para ser engolida pelas montanhas. Para encontrar beleza no sorriso de estranhos...
Quanto mais eu viajo, mais pequena me torno.
Quanto mais pequena me torno, mais viva me sinto.
E tu, porquê que viajas?

“We must not give up. It takes so much time to heal because we are not just healing our own wounds - we are healing the world’s wounds, too. We think we are alone with our ‘stuff’, but we aren’t. With every clearing of our emotional debris, with every foray into a healthier way of being, with every excavation and release of old material, we heal the collective heart. So many of our familial and karmic ancestors had little opportunity to heal their pains. When we heal, their spirits breathe a sigh of relief. We heal them, too.”

We can’t change our past, but we can learn from it. I knew the story about slavery from school and further witnessed the impact it had in Africa during my travels (Zanzibar has a museum very heartbreaking). But I didn’t know about it’s impact in the day to day living in western countries. I learnt a lot by watching documentaries over the past few days (13th for example is a must, among others). Now, we must come out of the story of the past and cultivate love among us, through words and acts of kindness. Be kind to the stranger next to you, to the POC, to the immigrant, to the refugee, to yourself. Be kind, it is free and contagious.

"I can't think of anything that excites a greater sense of childlike wonder than to be in a country where you are ignorant of almost everything. Suddenly you are five years old again. You can't read anything, you have only the most rudimentary sense of how things work. You can't even reliably cross a street without endangering your life. Your whole existence becomes a series of interesting guesses." - Bill Bryson
