When the Train is Stuck – Part 1

June 21, 2022 By Caliente Hot Glass

How do we continue to learn from the trains?

One day for class, our philosophy of the trains was put to the test.  A lovely human joined us, and we had a beautiful experience working with the glass. She loved how we treated the trains.  But something usual happened that day - a train traffic jam (trainfic jam?) and a train was stuck on the tracks, it happens, the train yard is literally right down the road (ooo I wonder if they have tours). When there’s a train on the tracks, the crossing arm stays down, and with that comes an incessant repeating honk. You know that sound. The train celebrations she understood but found the unrelenting honk, was intolerable.

Stay tuned for part 2.

 

Read our philosophy about trains, and let us know what you think this lesson is?
