THE SUN IS RISING AND WHAT DO I SEE

A Wise Old Owl.

There was an owl liv’d in an oak

The more he heard, the less he spoke

The less he spoke, the more he heard

O’ if men were all like that wise bird

Punch April 10 1875

Planets aligning perhaps! 🧐

Seeing the owl, taking a moment, then hanging out and talking with a truly amazing and calming human. A man I have the utmost respect for, and who over time, I have been fortunate to cross paths with in recent years. Who is quiet, unassuming, solid, calming, thought provoking, kind, and an absolute local figure of what surfing is all about ..... @downendpoint

Enjoying time in the surf, and after, with two locals, who are respected and loved. Legends in their own separate rights, in their own separate outlooks ..... @lloydyball@downendpoint

I sit listening quietly to stories from the past, experiences, and reflection ......

There is so much more to the surfing community than noise, and catching waves .......
