Isn't it incredible what we do
we buy, then spend time looking after our purchases
we earn, then pay back to heal our bodies
my mind returns to a period of time 6 years ago
when traveling europe involved a tiny backpack
and only 1 set of fancy clothes
and 2 pairs of shoes
it was heaven
"I wish I could just rear chickens and vegetables to sustain myself"
I mused during physical therapy
"and how would you afford your boards?"
"I'll barter trade them, that's a lot of chickens..."
my plans fall a little short, revealing newly found trouble in paradise
How a surfer can live a simple life, when traveling involves hauling
an obscene amount of fiberglass or epoxy
breaks my little vision of a bohemian existence
At least I have figured out how to get spinach and bak choy growing
even if moving boards across continents is going to present an interesting challenge shortly.
For as lightly as I do live and travel, it's all that I can't leave behind -
a quiver of 08' neilpryde sails and a custom quartro wave machine *sigh*
