Life! One minute, everything is right there, in front of You; next thing you Know–everything is Gone!
The inexorable Wheels of Time make just a TINY Turn, BOOM! Time to Start Life all over again!
That’s where I’m at, right now! Even my other Blog: Ubuntu-Zen Heals™© (fka: Ubuntu-Zen Healing Arts Center), is out of reach, too.
Oh, well!
Turn the Page…!
See you All soon! Meanwhile, here’s a Visual of the consequence of a Split-Second looking at my GPS, in a Rainy Night, two weeks ago:
RIP Maxie! 2007-2014

You were not seriously hurt or anything were you?
No! After I Re-Charge my Phone, I’ll post the entire Episode w/ the “5 Ws, and 1 H” in my Blog, so everyone can see, PS, I did Write a Kelly Blue Book (kbb.com) Review on my Car, as a “Memorial” for Maxie-My Best Ride, Ever!. It’s Titled “My Dream Car” I’ll post a Copy of my Email to Friends, Re: her demise, in a cpl of hrs.
I look forward to reading your entire episode. “Maxie”, reminds me of my first ride. Thank you for sharing, and stay cool.

I’ve just Posted (one of) a Version of it, (but this one dealt more with the Aftermath on a Personal, Spiritual, Runes-Casting level). There’s another version I’m still Editing, detailing the Instant Karmic effects–and the UTTER IRONY of my Rear-Ending Someone, when I’m so Adamant about No Tailgating, and not being Tailgated. The Universe is Texting a Very HUGE “LOL” to the surrounding Universes, Timelines and Dimensions–I can almost “hear” the thunderous Belly-Laughing so hard, they lose their Breath, over this! Hopefully this time I DO Learn my Lesson: “Lighten-Up” LOL😂
PS. As of this Afternoon, I’m now a Certified “Gendai Shinpenden (Level III) Reiki Practitioner”–Mark Flamand – Master Teacher. (Unlike “Usui Reiki”–where Level III makes you a “Master Reiki Healer;” “Gendai Reiki” has an Additional Level: “IV,” before One becomes a “Master Healer, and Teacher”). Think of “Gendai, Level III” as an “Undergraduate” College Diploma, and “Level IV,” as a “Master’s Degree.” This is why I’m moving to Lancaster, PA. (I’ve been looking into Intentional Communities, yet must ensure no conflict or supression would arise, negating the very essence of my past 25 Years’-worth of Intentionally seeking and Learning of Higher Realities, our puny five senses can’t detect. Thus, as Berkana teaches, Patience, Clear Intent, Fairness, and Alert Calmness. That’s where I’ve arrived at, now 😉
Tell me about your first ride! 🚘What car was it? What was very cool about it? I’m thinking of posting the Story of when I Found and bought Maxie-👣-tying loose ends…! You first! Go:
It was a 91 Nissan Maxima. *fun Fact* – had it for about 6 years (I think) and ran it like a race car. It was a terrible gas-guzzler due to only 1 oil change, no radio, but I wired the CD player in a funky way. She took me from A to B, and back again, a very strong automobile for only 1,000 dollars. – Your turn.
Maxie wasn’t the first ride I was shown! They’d brought in all these…, hmmm, so, so cars–none of which inspired me with Awe.
I was ready to leave the Dealership, when he brings in this magnificently-Gorgeous, Burgundy Grand Am SE1–actually, a bit “show-offey” in her original (yuck) chrome wheels. She’d been sitting way back in the lot, completely out of sight, I was shocked he hadn’t showed her to me sooner.
Upon first seating onto her Comfortably-Ergonomic, Back/Coccys-Friendly Cloth Seat, an overwhelming Sense came over me of “her” asking “me:” “Where have You BEEN All my Life?…”
The Salesman sat next to me, we left the Lot–and asking him to “Bear with me, as I’ll be putting her through some real-life Tests”–we set out.
Following a Hard-Braking Test; Gravely road test, etc, I took her onto a hard to get onto the Freeway entrance, and at the first chance, I floored it–merging into traffic quickly and easily. At that moment, being a bit of a “Sensitive,” I picked-up the Salesman’s discomfort with my move, and asked him jovially: “she does have ‘Pep,’ doesn’t she?” Relaxing he said something, then asked me: “Can you see Yourself Driving this car 5 years from now?
“Absolutely! Yes!” was my reply, “…but I can’t spend $12,000. I’ll have to find something else…”
Before I could say another word, he offered to let me keep the car over the weekend, take it to my Mechanic, come back Monday.
I agreed, and Drove her Home!
Going to work, Researching her VIN#, I found she’d been in the PA Motor Pool, had been a Garaged car, got a CarFax, an Edmunds, and a Kelly Blue Book Printouts, and found out she was listed at Kbb at $10,000., not $12,000.
Monday, 8 AM, my Mechanic Checked her out; 9 AM, I drove to my Credit Union, applied for and obtained a Loan for kbb value.
By noon, I’d returned to the Dealer, showed him my Research Printouts, (KBB Report last), told him I’d already obtained a Loan, for $10,000., and wanted to take her Home, NO Haggling! He said, “She’s Yours!”
The Following day, I took her to a nearby town, traded the Chrome wheels for those less-showey, albeit far better-looking Pewter, Filigreed-like wheels, put Nitrogen in her Tires, and drove her Home.
Thinking of her as my Best-Ride ever, I named her after the Main Character’s Nickname, from a short-lived late-’90s TV Series “Dark Angel:” Maxie!
In my car’s case “Maxie” was short for “Maximum Ride!” Yes, Yes…, I realize you Porsche, Ferrari, etc-Enthusiasts will balk at a mere Pontiac’s 6-Cyl 3.5L Dbl cam engine as being simply a “Wannabe!” I counter that a Ferrari doesn’t sit you as Comfortably, and I doubt most other Dream Cars, had a Cabin, controls, Dashboard as Easy, Elegantly Simple (Analog, mind you), and Creature-Comfort-Full as my Maxie.
I further Doubt any of those other cars could fit an entire 4-Synth 🎹 Studio, Boxes of Cables/Adapters, a. 100Watt TOA PA, Monitor Speakers, a 16-Channel Audio Board, an 8-Track Pro-Level Cassette Recorder/a 2-track Dbl-Deck Cassette Recorder; a Box of Percussion Instruments; My Garment Bag; an 88-Note Kurzweil K-1200 Pro Synth🎹; a Roughneck Tote full of Manuals; a Cane w/ a Seat, and Drive you, Comfortably, from Pennsylvania, to Missouri, in All kinds of Weather, in up to 80mph, (where allowed), without overheating, or skidding in heavy rain, or losing power on hilly roads!
THAT my Friends, Was my Maxie!
Today, I drove home a Barely-acceptable 2007 Corolla, I’ll be returning it tomorrow–(Not a Keeper)!
Maxie has Spoiled me! I KNOW I’ll never again own a Ride like her. Oh, BTW, before my Insurance asked me if it had a “Monsoon System” in it, I–though a Musician–hadn’t even noticed she had this Great 8-Speaker Premium Audio System (what an Added Bonus that was!!! My Music sounded great in it! 🎵(So did everyone else’s!).
Got a car to return🚗 more cars to look for, a Rental to Rent🚙, so, this may be a Draft for now. 😉
That sounds awesome. Please, take your time with the posting. We are ready to read it. I understand the driving condition, quite effective for two purposes, ‘drafting’ in racing, and making sure the person ahead of you knows that YOU are trying to move around them (which is highly dangerous on public roads).
Round of applause to you for receiving your credentials. That is really cool. As far as our five senses, they may be “puny”, but they are all we have within this kingdom. It would be awesome if we could tap these five for maximum operation…. if possible.
The Intentional Community sounds really cool, and something I have had an extreme soft spot for. Much success to you in that adventure.
Thank you again for sharing with us. Continue doing your thing.

Thnx & Thnx! 😉
