This is the short trip of an Artist within his own life-story, looking for his dormant talent and for the strong emotions that change human beings. The story contains excerpts of old poems that serve as windows, using which is possible to look at the past and recover old feelings. During this trip, that will lead the protagonist to explore himself, his value as a human being and the value of his life mission, the man will remember the sense of emptiness that surprises an artist after he creates something; the limits and merits of talent, which is seen as a backwash you can walk on. He will travel over again the brief encounters that "carve a niche for themselves in the soul" and stay there for ever; the traumatic mental crossing from childhood to adulthood, the ancient sensation that his scream is "nothing within the silence". The three stops of "Train of Thought" tell about the protagonist's journey "within the visible and not visible", celebrating the beauty of life, of the individual, and the caducity of certainties, thrown away by fault of or thanks to that small, slight pain that someday in the past reached him and changed his horizons
