Among the Giants


he traveled alone, carrying only a tin cup, a handful of tea, a loaf of bread, and a copy of Emerson





We are now in the mountains and they are in us, kindling enthusiasm, making every nerve quiver, filling every pore and cell of us




He usually spent his evenings sitting by a campfire in his overcoat, reading under the stars.


We all flow from one fountain-Soul. All are expressions of one love.
God does not appear, and flow out, only from narrow chinks and round bored wells here and there in favored races and places, but He flows in grand undivided currents, shoreless and boundless over creeds and forms and all kinds of civilizations and peoples and beasts, saturating all and fountainizing all."

Summer Moon

I never tried to abandon creeds or code of civilization; they went away of their own accord... without leaving
any consciousness of loss- John Muir
Don't ask what the word needs, ask what makes you come alive, and go and do it. Because what the word needs is people who have come alive. - Howard Thurman
When he did regain his sight he saw the world and his purpose in a new light.  The affliction had driven him to the sweet fields. God has to nearly kill us sometimes, to teach us lessons. From that point on, he determined to be true to myself and follow his dream of exploration

Wild

















The U.S Open was wild. I admit, it was possibly so wild it made me a little sick. And yes, right before Surfer Blood was about to play, I left. Because, I was claustrophobic and spiteful. When did I become such a square?! Everything was fine and fun and dandy and yet, I let the fools spoil my good time. People aren't always who I want them to be.  Everyone is equally imperfect. I don't want to become an old grumpy fart that judges others.  I'm still young and vibrant and full of love and want to utilize that. It's good that people are different and that we aren't all the same because that's what makes us creations that can be personally loved and irreplaceable. I want to be a kid again. Open eyed and naive. With no preconceptions or inhibitions.
Wild and reckless and foolish and silly.

Beach Days











With the U.S Open rolling into town, the beach and sun is all I want at the moment. And of course the chance to see Rob Machado once more but that's another story. The weekend is here and its time breath in the summer and enjoy all it gives, and most of all have fun and... be happy. Time takes nothing from those who live life, and if you really are alive, time has no relevance. Every day is something significant and something that can not be regretted and spoiled by time. Is it any coincidence that when you have time, you don't live and when you don't have time, you do? How bout, whether you do or don't have enough time, you live?! And then we can stop acting like the fleeting summer is the cause to are lifelessness, and let go; and let the beach days come and go as they please, so we can finally smile at the sun and cheer for the playful surfers riding their waves like nothing else matters. I want to laugh and play and dance this weekend and there is nothing in the world I'd rather be doing.
