my first sail

Pin It

"Once you have flown, you walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward; for there you have been, there you long to return."
~Da Vinci

Another experience has been crossed off my "I want to do EVERYTHING" Bucket List.
I went sailing last night for my first time.

I have talked about it for forever. Desired to experience the waves and water rolling and weaving beneath me. Interested in learning about boats and ropes and observing the sails straining and stretching out in the wind as it guided us forward. Feeling the power of nature gently directing us as we glided gracefully along the ocean with no thought to what could be or what was... only what is right now. This moment.
This very glorious moment of the present.

It was everything I thought it would be and more. On the water there are no worries. No heavy thoughts. No cares. There is simply the wind, the water, the sky and the calming rock of the sea. It was relaxing... peaceful... totally content. It was home as I've always known it would be for me.

Life is good. If you don't have a bucket list I highly recommend you start one! Write down everything you want to do *someday*. Know in your heart that someday will come and you will do the things that your core calls you to experience.

Then make them happen.

Make
Them
Come
True

Live like you won't live it twice.
This moment.
You won't you know...
You won't get another chance to live this moment right now.

Treasure each of your moments while you live them.
Embrace all that they have offered you without hesitation.
Love what you do and do what you love and never stop dreaming.

Always listen to your core. Listen to heart.
You already know what's best for *you*.
Trust yourself... don't worry about anything else.
The rest will fall into place.
Love *you*.

p.s. Thanks for the great quote Howard! :)
