.. Otherwise though willst be lost " ..
That's what I somehow thought, when after a while of purposedly self-inflicted restriction,
I again started to tinker in the FF- undercurrent..
Those waters have started to haunt me a while ago, slowly first, being encountering
in an almost coincidental, casual way, when a certain friend had kindly exposed me (subconsciously) to some
of his treasures..
Actually, in reality, it all had started a while ago, when in Forida, then some Carribean location, where I
had been shown two or three fascinating FF, 2 of which were vintage.
Had only vague idea what I was looking at, and although a British friend asked me, if I wouldn't be giving it a second thought,
( as it was a source he knew) I had shied away :
-- not enough knowledge, had escaped the brand ( being a JLC aficionado, in my heart),
maybe too complicated, or even tricky. - Too early ? - Maybe, as well .. -- BUT:
Then more recently, act 3: on a hilarious encounter occasion, again in the presence of a kind (darkingly knowing)
friend, and other experts , having had the sheer pleasure of being shown some of the rarest FF's, TR's, Milspec's in a very
relaxed atmophere -- real, real rare pleasures ! ).
- Total indulgence, and sincere admiration: strength, beauty, pedigree, significance - all there..
( even patiently allowed some magic moment- pics, just for the Padawan, as a token - so nice I find,
Thnx in retrospect again to those kind guys !)
Pretty lost soul already, but knowing that unreachable for the time being, my senses afterwards had to be settled - hesitantly, though..
And having other important targets and dear goals in my home "spiel-one", did and does help:
-- "..you have to wait, focus, mature and just be patient" .. So the head, and the masters around me.
Which does NOT prevent one from looking, reading, learning, (thinking of the moon for example):
Then, in the wee hours of a summer night, I zoom in on that FF- roll call, you triggered a year ago, a whole year !!
- Some people had added theirs - late, but not too late ..
Hence, I start reading again, so nice posts, reviews and collections .. Somehow mysterious new 'book', pretty tempting..
All the undercurrent of interest again revisited, re-felt..
-- Does not really make it easier, but a bit more knowledgable.
Then here this little tease with the moons, whereby I have to say, I adore this indication on the vintage FF's, Milspecs, not to dare
to mention the TR's.
So, left I will remain, looking into moons, reflecting .. One day, maybe..
On the other hand, 'boxes, fate and friends' have been so good to me this year already, and I am lucky to have acquired some
real treasures in my domain. - This quest will never stop .
Thank you for being part of this haunting experience,
Best, hs
