Paddle slowly. Simplify.
Kick off the fluff. Listen. Wait. Look. Remember.
Then, think.
Stay an unpredictable length of time. Don’t try to do anything except to notice what is happening. Mostly it is not complicated, but stillness and patience seem to be a pretty good starting posture. The water is the most vital item except maybe in the dead of winter.
Go barefoot. Stoke the sauna. Swim naked.
This place may or may not exist... We are not sure, although we have been there many times. If you are overwhelmed or underwhelmed, there may be a way out there.... Maybe you should go?

It's the life that lies sleeping
When you think you're awake.
Forever is real
And the rest is just fake.
And though volumes are written
On this subject alone,
She used three simple words
And she brought it all home.
Arlo Guthrie
