The Ocean Teacher

The ocean is my greatest teacher and healer. In the busy and pressured work of healthcare an ocean swim is relaxing. No matter how I feel, time by the ocean, immersed in its essence, heals. Surfing has taught me patience, to let go of whatever is in the future or past and focus on the precious present - that’s where the magic is. Going out alone is when I feel most connected with nature, and surfing with friends brings community. Today and everyday I remember that one wave can change my life, that things are always better than they may seem. There is endless possibility in this world and in this moment.
