\"\"<\/h3>\n

Every night at exactly midnight, an old train crossed a desert in Morocco.<\/p>\n

It had only three carriages and carried very few passengers.<\/p>\n

One evening, a young traveler named Sami boarded the train without knowing where it was going.<\/p>\n

The conductor checked his ticket and smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere are you headed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know,\u201d Sami answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen perhaps this is the right train.\u201d<\/p>\n

The train moved slowly into the desert.<\/p>\n

Outside the window, the moon illuminated endless golden dunes.<\/p>\n

Sami eventually fell asleep.<\/p>\n

When he woke, the train had stopped.<\/p>\n

Outside was a small station surrounded by lanterns.<\/p>\n

There was no town.<\/p>\n

No road.<\/p>\n

No other train.<\/p>\n

Only a little caf\u00e9 with an elderly woman sitting outside.<\/p>\n

She offered Sami tea.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have been traveling a long time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you know?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone who arrives here has been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sami looked around.<\/p>\n

For the first time in years, he felt peaceful.<\/p>\n

He realized he had spent his life rushing from one destination to another, always worrying about what came next.<\/p>\n

The woman pointed toward the horizon.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes,\u201d she said, \u201cyou must stop traveling to discover where you truly belong.\u201d<\/p>\n

At sunrise, Sami returned to the station.<\/p>\n

The train was waiting.<\/p>\n

When he boarded, he found his original ticket in his pocket.<\/p>\n

But now there was a new destination printed on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
