pt .2

like a game of chess it is not the move you are about to make that is important, it is the next one that matters. there is this rich process about the winter time that makes one way more in tune with what is going on in the environment. especially when it comes to going for a surf in the winter, it is all about the process. contrasted to the summer months when the air is warm and sun is plentiful, movements are less calculated and the process going about doing things has less meaning. beauty is found in the process in what we do and the care given produces a favorable outcome. for errors result in a lesson learned, which in the end proves to be most valuable. the emptiness of the winter time provides a seclusion and escape without even trying. the solitude of a grey winter’s day opens the mind and forces one to look within due to the subtleties of the surroundings. how fortunate to be able to escape and gain a moment to oneself in this crowded and intrusive world…while going full circle brings one back to the beginning where all things originate.
