I’d driven 18-wheelers all summer following the pea crops in
Washington State, and it was time to head back to college, but I had dreamed
all summer of surfing California. The
bus from Walla Walla took me to Portland, and from Portland to Redding
California. My flight home was out of
Los Angeles, so I started hitchhiking south along U.S. highway 101, borrowing
boards and surfing along the way. My nights
were filled with solitude where the only sound was the seductive whispering
voice of the waves that taught my soul to wander. When our souls wander and we are drawn into
deep reflective thought, with each breath we open and take in so much more of ourselves,
an intimacy only we can share with the symphony of life. Have you taught your soul to wander?
