Believe in this Living...

Reflections on the Past,
INspirations for the Future...
I Temper these moments,
with feet firmly grounded in the Now

I Dream of Adventure,
while enjoying the security of Quiet Times...
Maybe some see inconsistencies,
but judgement may fail to account the Dreamers' Truth

I can hear the buzzing...

Flies in the kitchen used to bother me,
but now I accept Nature in all It's glory...
With out one part, the Other half would seem out of place

Just give me one Thing,
So I can hold on too...
Being an Enthusiast of Miracles,
I sit with the Angels...

Classic

Sometimes...
I dream of what was,
Of how it must have been...
What if it could be again?

But the paradigm would be changed...
Then Now would be different,
Lost in Translations...
Would I wish for the Future?

So I hold on to The Moment... for only a second
And watch it float away,
As It is replaced by the Next...
The Way IT Should Be :-)

The Search...

A catchy slogan RipCurl has been using for years
Something my life has evolved into
Its no wonder I work and "live" at a University...
The Church of Reason churning out its research

From waves to other thrills,
MY Search has lead me to MySelf
Finding limits and stretching beyond...
Looking to the Past and Lighting the Future

Having others join on this Path has helped
And having some fall off hurts,
But I would not trade it for another
There are prices we all must pay on this Journey called Life

Looking outside, we are reminded of the Inside,
Running from somethings, returns to what we must face
Being vulnerable we find our strength... and in sadness eventually there comes Hope
Stay the course my friends...
And NEVER Let Go of HOPE

Nothing Else Matters

One Focus
On the Truth
From the Heart
Without the head injecting any fear...

Is this Our Path?
With Trials and Tribulations to help carve Our way...
Tears and laughter mixed with sweat and stillness,
Beyond the doubt and Trust we GROW -

Nothing Else Matters...

Free

Everyone likes free stuff!
Most like surfing good waves?
I like this new movie :-)
Enjoy!!

Missing me?

I know...
Been "Off the Grid"
Not dead...
Very much Alive :-)
I think this clip captures my focus lately...
and the music seems to play my heart's content.

See you again soon

"The Invitation"

I found this quote... from someone who quoted her use of it :-)
Sally Meyerhoff who had placed it on her blog right before getting killed by a truck at age 27, while she trained for another Ironman
It pretty much explains my view...

A month before Sally's death, she wrote...
"I don't like to make excuses 'Oh, I'm young. I have time.' Because we don't know how much time we will have in life, and I want to live every day with no regrets."

In that posting, she also had this quote...
It was written by a fellow Canadian, Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Someone I will have to read about further,
Thanks Sally for Paying it Forward... even post mortem
This is borrowed from an excellent poem named The Invitation


"It doesn't interest me how old you are...
I want to know if you will risk looking like a Fool
for Love
for your Dream
for the Adventure of Being Alive."
