A much needed respite

Scene from the beach

Few miles, very little speed, LOTS of wake,,,

And a feeling of joy that I have been sorely lacking of late.

I get out there, the thoughts of the world at large are just not so damned important anymore.  I feel the breeze/wind, I hear and smell and feel the water.   I feel the power of mama-nature under and around me.    She’s docile on days like the one pictured, and I know that she can be a truly murderous bitch from hell when she gets her ire up.

BUT SHE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE.   If you are in her way, you WILL feel her wrath.

And when she is docile like the above, you feel that too.  Peace, a joyful ‘reboot’ I much needed.

No worries about the bills, no stress over client issues, no fretting about the current Shaministration and its malice/incompetence (choose whichever lets you sleep at night.  IMO, its both),,,   Just me, a boat, the water and sun, and knowledge, that IF I SO CHOSE, I could just not turn back and I would be just fine.  The world around me has the resources I need to survive, and I know where to look for them.

And yet, I always come back.

Even with as bad as it feels like things are going to get, I still return because HERE is where my lesson in this ‘reality’ is in motion.  I may be tired of it, same as you are, but ignoring it; you won’t learn what you came here for, whatever that is,,,

The most important days of your life: the day you were born, and the day you find out WHY.

I can’t correct the path this reality has been on: not single handedly.   This is so much bigger than one person.  Its bigger than a nation of peoples even.   THIS is going to have to go full spread, like a virus through a body.   Either the body repels the virus, or the virus kills the body, but there is no short cut to the end result.  

but I can take little jaunts to clear the head, and see things in better light, and maybe, see a solution to one of the myriad problems this time/space throws at us all.  Sometimes I do, often not feasible from the perspective of “ONE”.  Other times, I don’t see a solution, but I do see a different aspect that at least lessens the turmoil of the time.

Figure out where you find YOUR PEACE.  Where you can ‘Ground and Center’ easily.   Everyones is going to be a little different.  Some will find that from the pews of a church.  I find it from the cockpit of a kayak.    (hint: no matter where/what it is for you, it should not be by adding something INTO your body to achieve.  IE, the bottle is not the answer, nor other recreational forms,,,)
