what was

Once upon a time, we would see “hot rods” cars rebuilt, and put together from scraps or pieces of metal /other cars. When I saw this picture it reminded me of how today, our lives are impacted by so many outside forces. We are bombarded from morning to night with sight and sounds that are manufactured//man made.. Have you seen a rebuilt car lately? Sundays, it was not uncommon to see families out for a Sunday drive. Is this still happening today? Do you still make time to visit and explore the countryside?

Work well with everyone regardless of their age or position

The opinions of those who are younger may lead to new solutions and we can always learn from the accumulated experiences of our elders.

There is always a door, we need only find it.

Patience and Faith,

PL Precept #11 – always be with God

There is something enduring about older vehicles

when you opened a door or closed one

there was a “feel” to it, that doesn’t come with the automobiles of today.

vintage – classic

1955 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible 265 Cl. automatic*

How is that when vehicles age, rust and fall apart, we still love them. This one has been kept in wonderful condition, or lovingly restored. I am enamored with the classic cars, trucks, especially prior to 1960’s. Something happened to the designs after that, and I lost interest. I viewed the car simply as the means of transportation. Now many years later, it is a completely different story. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, even rusted and in decay I can be totally mesmerized. In fact the other day I purchased a paint enamel called “rust”.

When was the last time you actually saw a hood ornament on a vehicle? I can’t recall seeing one in a long time. This one is from a 1936 Packard – (Steve Corey,Flickr) Lately I find that when I need to take a break from being in “work mode” I search out old photos of cars/trucks and related items for my Pinterest board, I have asked myself what this interest is in cars that I only have a vague recollection of, and I don’t have an answer.

In PL, one of the lessons is about listening to others, and to not interrupt, to let what is being said come to us in a manner that we are respectful of the speaker’s intentions. While I do my best to practice this, I’ve found over the years that I do not always allow my own thoughts and desires to be given the “respect” due them. I’m more apt to listen carefully to someone else, a friend for example will be speaking to me and I am interested and giving my full attention to the conversation. While I act on my interests, I don’t think that I always understand why I’ve developed a passion for a new “interest”

It is said, that when you are being influenced by an invisible force, (the Chinese mind -TAO) sees this inspiration as a “penetrating influence” it is important to still the mind, and allow the gentle force to shape and give form to the answers to the unspoken questions. Through a willing submission to the time and the situation, you will gain insight and perspective… I know I’m not alone in this love of the classic/vintage vehicle, any feedback or input out there?
