You can say that I have this attachment to the sounds of trains. For one, I have this intricate and large train set that was nicely set up in our house.
It was big and a bit loud. I can still remember my excitement after my dad and I finished setting up the train set.
I also loved trains because I associated them with travel. There were some nice places I’ve been to abroad where train travel was the best (or at least less expensive) way of getting to a different location.
So, the sound of trains is a delightful sound for me and invokes great memories.
But one night I woke up to the sounds of the train. It was weird as my flat was nowhere near a train station and neither did I have a train set at home.
I was perplexed at the sounds and then I remembered that this could be heaven’s way of telling me something. It was more than just a train sound that I was hearing but rather a message from the universe.
