Ignorance is the failure to discriminate between the permanent and the impermanent, the pure and the impure, bliss and suffering, the Self and the non-Self.
-The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 2:5
had a dream last night i was paddling out and realized that out on the horizon the ocean was exploding from underneath-- crazy insane massive tsunami type of waves-- then huge molten lava falling from the sky. (picture end of the world kinda thing going on) all the surfers were frantically paddling in the same direction, leaving no one behind. a sense of unity born out of a desperation to survive. very intense. what does it all mean? don't know, maybe i'm just stressed out-- (i was working on my bloody taxes all day yesterday) but i needed to vent, get it off my chest, and just in case i am some kind of freaky clairvoyant, thought i should share with ya'll...
ok, gonna go get wet... norcal's been crankin, i've been missin out! aloha
i can't believe this-- now 3 million gallons of "partially treated" sewage spilled into our sf bay last night! (just watched story on kron4 news.) holy negligence. first oil, now crap. feels like i just got back in the water... now what? grrrrrrrrrr. grumpy mermaid. news of beach closures once again... surf at your own risk locally

"The results of karma cannot be known by thought, and so should not be speculated about. Thus, thinking, one would come to distraction and distress.
"Therefore, Ananda, do not be the judge of people; do not make assumptions about others. A person is destroyed by holding judgments about others."
-Anguttura Nikaya, From "Teachings of the Buddha," edited by Jack Kornfield, 1993.
i thought this quote was relevant to the current dialogue. i did not know davi or his circumstances; but i do know human suffering, and i empathize with him. i am thankful to be able to surf, to be able to head to the beach and rejuvenate my spirit as needed-- my preferred remedy for the blues... to quote a fellow surfer, "without surfing... i'd be downtown!"

aloha: planning a road trip, norcal to baja, any suggestions for good spots to stay & surf along the way? (travelling with the big bulldog) our first time driving south of the border to catch some waves, any tips greatly appreciated! happy new year-- feliz ano nuevo-- to the surfing community! here's to spending as much of '08 in the water as possible...

so sad; i woke up to news of beach closures resulting from major oil spill in our sf bay yesterday. i checked local surf reports (surfline, wavewatch) no mention of oil spill, damage, closures. any news from local spots? i haven't been to the beach yet today; my heart is heavy thinking about all the sea creatures (including us surfers) who will feel the ongoing effects of this mess...
