\"\"<\/h2>\n

A small train traveled across Sweden every winter.<\/p>\n

Its passengers came from different countries.<\/p>\n

They all wanted to see the northern lights.<\/p>\n

One evening, the train stopped in the middle of a snowy forest.<\/p>\n

The lights appeared above the trees.<\/p>\n

Green.<\/p>\n

Purple.<\/p>\n

Silver.<\/p>\n

Everyone left the train.<\/p>\n

Nobody spoke.<\/p>\n

For several minutes, hundreds of strangers simply looked upward together.<\/p>\n

A child whispered:<\/p>\n

\u201cAre the stars moving?\u201d<\/p>\n

His father smiled.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. The sky is dancing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The train eventually continued.<\/p>\n

Years later, one passenger wrote about that night.<\/p>\n

She said she had forgotten almost everything else about the journey.<\/p>\n

She didn’t remember the hotel.<\/p>\n

She didn’t remember the meals.<\/p>\n

She didn’t remember the train ticket.<\/p>\n

But she remembered strangers standing together beneath a moving sky.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the moments we remember most are the ones we never planned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
