The Weight of the Journey

Slumped against the worn metal frame of a moving train, a man sits in quiet exhaustion, his gaze lost in the rhythm of the tracks. The world outside rushes past in a blur, yet he remains still, carrying the unseen weight of years spent in transit—between places, between struggles, between moments of solitude and resilience. His weathered hands rest on his arms, a gesture of both weariness and endurance. The dim light catches the folds of his turban, the creases in his face, the heavy fabric of his robe—each detail a story, each shadow a memory. This is not just a pause in a journey; it is the embodiment of a lifetime spent moving, yet never truly arriving.
