Make Sure Your Train Stops for You

"Time goes faster the more hollow it is. Lives with no meaning go straight past you, like trains that don't stop at your station."
--Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Confluence:

a flowing together of two or more streams, rivers, or the like;
a coming together of people or things; concourse;
several years ago, backpacking in Canyonlands, my oldest daughter and I hiked to the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers; we stood on the canyon rim, the sheer cliff dropping hundreds of feet to the river confluence, and there as distinct as a line in a coloring book was the visible point where the red of the Colorado and the truly green Green met, then melted together and flowed downstream in unison.
