Ocean Beach Surfer

Ocean Beach surfer

I walked in the cold ocean water, as usual, to wake up my feet and lighten up the tension. Circulation is a wonderful thing, so is Courage, and so is Patience. Surfers are coming by at this golden hour, perhaps to catch some golden waves, perhaps to just relax and unwind after a stressful day. I used to surf a lot in Australia and love the surf motto - the best things in life are free. Focus and move with the energy (/energies).
