On Going Slow

06.23.2014

I loved it.. the roar of the car

The wind in the window

The helmet on my head

The 5 point belts and stiff suspension.




I went as fast as I could

On the race track, on the Autocross Course

In my head, in my mind, with my hands,

and flat out on the pedal.




That was then, this is now

I love to stop and savor

The hum of the car, the wind in the window

The Cushy ride with heated seats.




Speed left me when I met at last in ‘83

The Savior of my soul.

I love the slowness, the fullness, the joy,

Of life in the slow lane.




Now I am even eating and walking

At the slower pace of life

I love it.. the sweetness of the moment

The smile on Your face, the gentleness perceived.




It’s fun going slow!

    BARB'S ARTWORK
    It seems to fall into the category of Aleatoric Art. I just scribble &  it looks
    like something 
    to me, so
    I turn it into
    whatever I see.


    ​Aleatoricart posted this description in September 2011 (this is an elevated view in my opinion):

    "Aleatoric Art is the ultimate collaboration between
    man and the elements. Happenstance, randomness
    and a twist
    of fate’s unwilling wrist go in halfseys
    with some of the most outstanding visionaries
    the planet can boast in a peaceful
    yet often violent serendipity of
    creative cacophony
    to produce works of art that go far beyond those
    of mere mortals alone."
