The summer before I started graduate school at UNT I lived in
Corpus Christi, Texas. Ten years had
passed since I’d learned to surf on the beach at Port Aransas, but the dream
was still there. Living in Corpus, which
is just 40 miles from Port Aransas was like a dream come true. My day job was selling advertising for a
local newspaper, but somehow I managed to surf most days.
Why surfing? On bad
nights in the Army when the silence of waiting was deafening, I’d dream of
surfing, being one with the waves, and myself.
It was really a lazy summer, filled with too much sun and surf. However, it was the summer I learned how
important it is to “start with the dreams of your heart”. Einstein called our heart dreams sacred gifts. Gifts that many had never learned to listen
to, thus never learning to surf and be one with the universe and
themselves. Listen to your heart
today.
