A
friend of mine just forwarded me a few images from my last trip to Nicaragua
of the young girl Wendy and I at the beach. I had a good reminder of those few
moments
in life that you strive to be a part of. Wendy was the focus in my Surfers Journal
article
and has always been the face that drives my work and heart down in Nicaragua.
If only you had the
opportunity to spend one day with her... you would understand a lot more about
what this
life is really about. Regardless... these are photos of us at the beach. The
first time she has been
outside of the dump, Managua and a life un-explainable. The first time seeing
a surfboard and
feeling the movement of the waves, the first time smelling salt water and having
the sand
burn her feet instead of the burning trash. Everything I've done in this life
has given no
greater perspective on whats real and whats important than to watch
Wendy play in the waves for one day.
if only every day could be like this.
