Trac-tion: ( trak / shen) n. 1. The adhesive friction of a body on some surface, as a wheel on a rail or a tire on a road. 2. Action of drawing a body vehicle, train or the like along a surface, as a road, track, railroad, waterway, etc. 3. Med. The deliberate and prolonged pulling of a muscle, organ or the like by weights, to correct dislocation, relieve pressure etc. 4. Act of drawing or pulling. 5. State of being drawn.
Traction as defined in The Random House College Dictionary Revised Edition,
Copyright 1982 as the latest revised edition.
I was asked once by a friend that knows me well, upon a trip that I took recently, to write 5 ticks about traction. We have comical relations, I was looking to get out of our small town and I had just got 4 brand spanking new tires on my car. I like to be elusive and I like to be gone from where ever I am living. I have had the privilege to have gas money in my pocket as well as time to burn; and so I leave, with my 7-year-old traveling companion. He has become accustomed to the traveling lifestyle that comes along with being part gypsy. We like shiny things. And off we go, to get gone, to get lost, to experience life, burn rubber, disappear, gain ground, and figure out what traction truly means.
Gaining ground in any town is tough. It is a skill of mass contention. It however is true skill in the small sleepy town I have relocated us to in which is considered the inner, outer banks along the shores of Eastern North Carolina.
Wheels turn and rubber burns. In some respect some of us gain pleasure in getting on a road and turning wheels both in our mind and on the road. Needless to say I took my brand new tires for a 500-mile spin and the weather was fine. I will also state that for bargain basement prices all 4 brand new wheels were from different companies and brands, however they all turn just the same; round and round we go where we stop know body knows.
Traction as defined medicaly, the deliberate AND prolonged pulling of a muscle, organ or the like by WEIGHTS to CORRECT DISLOCATION relieves pressure etc.This part of traction’s definition can be really interesting in regards to the prior part of its definition. It gives one something to think about in the back part of the mind. My favorite part is the whole definition ‘ the pulling of a muscle or organ of the like by weight to correct dislocation and relieve pressure’ It is my heart that often drives, and it is often that my soul seeks traction. Do we not do the same when we travel, I believe some do, and I know I do. My tires spin to relieve pressure of everyday life and it dislocates me from my small town, especially when the weight of it all is just too much. So therefore may I gander that such is medicinal. Travel is medicine? Traction medicinal? Gain ground, burn rubber or burn out. If your wheels aren’t turning all your doing is standing still. I’m not one for reverse but the wheel, it still turns, I am more in favor of forward motion. Traction is also friction; it’s an artist thing, friction, that’s a whole other topic and definition.

“And a man said, Speak to us of Self – Knowledge.
And he answered, saying:
Your hearts know in silence the secrets
of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of
your heart’s knowledge.
You would know in words that which
you have always known in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the
naked body of your dreams.
And it is well you should.
The hidden well – spring of your soul must
Needs rise and run murmuring to the sea;
And treasure of your infinite depths
Would be revealed by your eyes.
But let there be no scales to weigh your
Unknown treasure;
And seek not the depths of your knowl –
Edge with staff or sounding line.
‘For self is a sea boundless and measureless.’
Say not, “ I have found the truth,” but
Rather, “ I have found A truth.”
Say not, “ I have found the path of the soul.”
Say rather, “ I have met the soul walking upon my path.”
For the soul walks upon all paths.
The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed.
The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of countless petals.”
By Kahlil Gibran
I want to share with you one of the most inspirational writers to me, Kahlil Gibran. His writings has been a great influence to what I view behind my lens as a photographer. He speaks from the soul in his writings. Enjoy more of Sunday lazy writings and reflections.

Elephants the size of grains of sands
The Merchant of Marvels on Elephants
Elephants the size of grains of sand
Amazingly enough………
I also have a troop of elephants
All as small as specks of sand
Who come trumpeting from time to time
Into my teacup.
Let me entice you, my dear,
LET ME TEMPT YOU…
The Merchant of Marvels and The Peddler of Dreams – Frederic Clement
Elephants the size of grains of sand in comparison of having an elephant in the room.
You can be a tiny speck in troops and still be large ( Do not underestimate the power of the undereducated in large groups, however one could be as obvious as what they call “The elephant in the room” which has dual meanings to being obvious.
