We try not to sweat the small stuff, and concentrate on those big life-changing events, but truth be told life is a collection of small stuff. It is the sum of all those tiny events, meeting someone new and saying hi, waxing that new board for the first time, an evening session in less than perfect surf, butterflies in your stomach, your 1000th breakfast burrito, looking up at the sun and sneezing…all singularly non-consequential but be sure to toss them in your suitcase cause you’re taking them with you wherever you go. Sometimes those small things throw us for a loop and all of the sudden they are all grown up seriously BIG things, they are the forks in the road, the chance encounters, fate, providence, luck. This evening’s session was a bit like that–none of the waves I caught were singularly life-changing, but I am somehow changed, different than the person I was just hours before…and better for it.
