We went to Ocean Beach today, a superb big wave East coast surf beach a few minutes drive from where we live. An hours boogie boarding, being lifted up and driven down to the sand by the waves was both exhilarating and frightening by degrees. Sometimes it is great to experience the power of the forces around us that we have no control over. Somehow it puts us more into perspective than the trappings we own can suggest. I am humbled, a bit sore but energised. I feel like a towel or bed sheet that has been dried on the clothes-line and that has been 'oxygenated'.
