I live in a part of the world…
Where spirituality is everywhere…
Or perhaps I should say…
Spiritually-minded people are everywhere.
I like this kind of thinking…
We of this mindset…
See the world more peaceful…
Everything happens for a reason…
Something is neither good nor bad, only…
“It is what it's supposed to be” …
And I get it…
For the most part…
But there are times when I must draw a line…
Like a couple of months ago…
I was traveling with a friend in my car…
When all of a sudden…
SCWINCH SCWINCH SCWINCH
SCWINCH SCWINCH SCWINCH
“Damn it! It’s my brakes - again!
I hate this car! Waa waa waaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Don’t be so hard on your car," my friend said…
"It’s taken you many places…
Perhaps you need to learn something from this.”
Learn something? Are you frickin’ kidding me?
There's only one thing I've learned…
And that's this car is a piece of crap!
There’s nothing spiritual about this…And that's this car is a piece of crap!
Is what I wanted to say…
But he was dead serious
And I kept quite.
Well, two days ago…
SCWINCH SCWINCH SCWINCH
Are you frickin' kidding me? Again?
So yesterday…
A fourth trip to fix my brakes…

Ah, but this time to a new mechanic…
“Whoever worked on your brakes before…
Didn’t lube the calipers and brake pads…
Yada, yada, yada," the mechanic said. "The brake
pads are worn and you need new ones."
pads are worn and you need new ones."
(thank goodness my nephew speaks Spanish because
I have no clue how to say calipers in Spanish)
So?
What am I supposed to take away from this experience?
What spiritual lesson do I need to learn…
From three crappy brake jobs…
By three crappy mechanics?
Hmm?
Perhaps to keep going, searching, and finding?
Until I get the best?
And if that is the lesson I need to learn…
I just hope the next lessons won't be as costly!

What about you?
How much spirituality…
Do you put into your day’s/life's events?
And do you find lessons in everything?

If you didn't get into an accident, I'd say that was the blessing.
And you learned which mechanics to avoid!
I remember my brother getting his oil changed and having it leak all across the road. You'd think these mechanics would be smarter
Hmmph. I know what you mean. I do believe that some things happen for a reason. Emphasis on SOME.
Personally, I have a thing about "power of positive thinking." Sure, sometimes, negative thinking is damaging. But I might "positively" murder someone next time they say I'm "thinking" myself into a cold or flu. (For example.)
Hi Em-musing. I try to see a spiritual reason for everything, but I agree, when it comes down to the nitty gritty, it can be hard. But looking back, I can usually come up with a philosophy which suits. But our mind is a powerful tool for good or ill...so I choose to go with the good.
Thanks for your lovely comment at Misha's. And stick with the second mechanic!
