How to Fail

As I stood up from Wayne's chair, I felt lighter, not just because of the weight of the hair that had been cut, but due to gaining some additional clarity on how to live.

It was only when I relaxed and let the waves guide me that I was able to stand.

The knowledge of my mind mixed with the experience of my body created this wisdom that I can do things I don’t know how to do or know much about.

A healthy person has one thousand worries; an unhealthy person has only one.

The journey of paddleboarding, much like the journey of life, is fraught with challenges.

Life continues to change me. I don’t need to control or direct the change. I can learn to allow it to happen.
