The same silence
Surfing.
The only place you meet the same silence.
No matter who you are.
No matter where you are.
No matter how calm or chaotic.
No matter how warm or cold.
Surfing.

Just like the sun
Just Like the sun.
You lighten up my soul,
Bring colour to my skin.
My heart content when I see you rise,
And when I see you set.
I miss you as soon as you’re gone,
And count down to see you again.
I need you.
Just like I need the sun.

January Mantra
I anchor myself and dream into my depths. I remember who I am and call all parts of me home. From this place I tend to my boundaries and nourish my body and soul.
‘The Almanac’ - Lia Leendertz
There I was
There I was.
As if time stopped for a moment.
I look down.
I look left.
I look right.
The water is pink from the setting sun.
My arm strong, directing me.
The pull of water beneath me.
The perfect wall of water around me.
Every ripple magnified.
every sound tripled.
I am speechless.
There I was.
As present as I could ever be.
A moment never to be forgotten.

Time is everything
Time is everything.
Something we never get back.
Something we sometimes want to speed up.
Something we sometimes want to slow down, or stop.
Something we want more of.
In time we grow.
In time we change.
In time loved ones enter.
In time loved ones fade.
We all have it until we don’t.
Take good care of it.
Time is everything.

where you began
To have truly found yourself,
You end up where you began.
