Surf’s Up Dude!

Have you watched the animation movie ‘Surf’s Up’?

I watched it several times with my children. Today I saw something which I thought might have been the inspiration behind that movie.

I went for my walk as I do in the morning and noticed a seal in the water. This seal appeared to be swimming around like most seals do, but then I noticed something that gave me so much joy.

This happy seal was swimming behind the waves and then suddenly to my surprise a big wave came and this little guy started swimming with the wave. It seemed like a surfer who waited for the perfect wave…and he did what every surfer does…

He chose his wave and there he went – joyfully enjoying the speed of the wave carrying him forward. He went through it under it and over it then made his return just before reaching the shore.

At first I thought it was just my imagination but after watching him for more than twenty minutes I realised he knew what he was doing. I am sure this is possibly where the art of surfing was born.

This was just amazing to witness and it reminded me to experience life in full appreciation we need to observe nature.

Freedom of being is what life is about. This seal was being all he could be in the water – he created his own fun and inspired me to go out and live my life 100% everyday in the knowing that I am supported by life.

Everything I need is provided for me – all I need to do is enjoy it, shine my light and be 100% me.
