Daily commute

Sometimes when she is on the train there is a song on her ipod that just makes her smile while at the same time the book she is reading takes her to a fairytale world, In that moment she lets out a sigh and realizes that it is in these moments that she feels the peace and the joy that sometimes alludes her during her crazy day of answering emails, and scheduling meetings. It allows her to take in the serenity, even when the tall man behind her keeps banging into her and his armpit smell from holding the pole is not at all like the smell of roses. The music allows her to forget where she is and even where she is going. It is the soundtrack in that moment. The solace she needs to finally feel herself again.
