I listen to the sounds of the ride as I move along in a shared  journey to a destination 
 
Hearing conversations of loss, of  love, of  everyday happenings as we all navigate a 
daily commitment of  traveling together 
 
An unwilling partnership of navigating stops, movements and delays  
 
It is here that the most profound connections of human decency occurs 
 
It’s in this space that the vulnerability of humanity is experienced  
 
The sharing  of love experiences, 
 
Of daily frustrations  
 
Of the stop and start of  the travel still remaining  
 
The added pleasure or dread of entertainment that is forced on the viewership  
 
The searching of a new beginning  and new destination to pursue
