a beautiful calm

serenity so sweet flows

anchored from a certainty

one thats new but also old

returned, releasing or returning


and not just the one

but the others too

that were the glue

in the absence grew


clear horizon visions

lovely dreams in sight

treasures and adventures

all directions right


no hurries, no worries

all in its own time

no charts, no maps, just guides

joys in the journey and the ride

top 10 signs you might be a surfer...

10) if a wave has ever broken on your face or your melon
9) if you know why a rash guard is key
8) if you have ever driven off with your board on top of the car (but not tied down) or left it alongside the car while changing and drove off without it
7) if you can devour a table full of food even though you only weigh like 100 pounds
6) if you suddenly find yourself only able to speak two or three words at a time and sounding at least a little like Jeff Spicoli
5) if words like: pummeled and epic have an entirely new or very deep meaning
4) if you have paid the ocean gods in either blood or hard to replace merchandise
3) if you know the answer to: "booties - yes or no" has nothing to do with calls or bottoms
2) if there is sand in and on everything you own
1) if Dick Dale suddenly seems like the most brilliant musician of all time

electric storm

I haven't seen a lightning show like the one tonight since the last time I was in Arizona - rainless thunderstorms happen there all the time, but here thunderstorms are rare in rainy weather let alone dry!

It was so beautiful! I went to watch it from a local beach access spot and found a nice little bench to watch the show from. I saw a lot of people along the way, but oddly enough, no one was at the spot I found, it was kind of like getting a private screening. I watched for about an hour, until it got too cold and the the storm began slowing down and moving south.

Its still playing havoc with the electricity - and one of the local tv stations went off the air for about 20 minutes. Pretty crazy but totally awesome!!
