It´s so fundamental, to breath, that I forget to do it…I lose awareness of the one thing that is most important…for if we do not breath we will cease to be (at least on earth). So Im in the line up bathing in the temped waters of the pacific and realize I am barely breathing!
It´s always awkward to surf a new break for the first time, especially when it´s overhead. And as Im sitting there I feel my body tense hardly letting the breath of life fill my lungs. So I focus, counting one breath and then the next and the wonder of Costa´s beauty fills me with a smile and I remember why I´m here. I remember what makes this worth it, why I chose to be born on earth in the first place. (I wish I could find the words, but I think the feeling is mute.) And all of this continues be, because I remember to BREATH!
For those of you interested in where and when I will be at any given spot along my journey here it is in brief…
Leave Costa for Lima, Peru 10/12 – Leave Lima for Santiago, Chile 10/26 – Leave Santiago for Rio, Brazil 11/2 – Leave Rio for Auckland New Zealand 11/9 – Leave Auckland for Sydney, OZ 11/17 – Leave Sydney for Bali, Indo 11/23 – Leave Bail for Tahiti 12/3 – Leave for LAX 12/14
However anything can change and I am sure it will; however I figured I should have some kind of structure in my now structure-less window of existence.
My first full day of this trip found me being pelted by buckets of rain as I stood almost naked in 85 degree weather…I love central America. The forecast for surf looks great so we should see overhead waves, I just hope the wind stays off it…we barley got a 2 hour window today where the wind was mellow enough to surf.
On a spiritual note I feel at home inside myself; I now can see how much I let “life” define me. I lost the truth, the quintessential key that is wrapped up in this simple quote, “If you are not within you are without!” Remember what you have, desire or wish to posses will never provide what you are truly in search of… you have all the pieces…the picture to the puzzle resides beyond the voice that consumes, it is in the silence, in the awareness that observes the life we dream.
Well I am confident that this blog will be unique, if not strange…I will misspell words, miss commas and generally have lack luster grammer. However the goal is to convey an idea, message, maybe even a story; and I believe I will have no trouble doing that. I believe that we, both you and I , might find a bit of insight into the one thing that makes all the difference…ourself. So I hope you check back from time to time over the next 90+ days, for this journey just might be a wild and crazy ride…hey would you expect anything less?
