2:44 p.m.: "Take up your arms, sons and daughters
We will arise from the bunkers
By land, by sea, by dirigible
We'll leave our tracks untraceable now
When we arrive, sons and daughters
We'll make our homes on the water
We'll build our walls aluminum
We'll fill our mouths with cinnamon now"

2:08 p.m.: There is a Zen parable in which two monks are looking at a flag that is waving in the wind. The first monk says, "the flag is waving." The second monk says, "no, the wind is blowing."
Their teacher comes over and they both pose the question. "Who's right? I say the flag is moving. He says the wind is moving." The Zen master says, "you are both wrong, only consciousness is moving." When you awaken to the deeper truths of this subjective reality you realize that you are not your body or your mind anymore than you are the car you drive or the ocean you swim in. The essence of who you really are is in the consciousness that animates all of the bodies and minds and is observing and experiencing the world through a myriad of forms that populate the universe. #zen #humboldtcounty #ocean
10:49 a.m.: That excitement and joy you get when that wetsuit is on, surfboard is waxed and no one is out. Whether the waves are good or not, weather is questionable and you wonder why no one is in the water is what it is all about. @theshopsurf loving all the reasons.
