Sometimes



Things seem just too serious.
.
Getting too heavy.
.
Difficult today to relax and take things lightly.
.
Then you see some surfers and it reminds you that for some life is light.




Saw a good clip of some base jumpers in wing-suits tracking down the side of a mountain, got me to thinking how it was when I was really into jumping.




.




No envy that went a long time ago.
.
Just a pleasure seeing them well into their thing.
.
Like the new Ducati Panigale 1199cc.
.
For those not into bikes it is a new superbike taking bike technology to a new level.
.
Gorgeous to look at, and yes some men do find special bikes gorgeous.
.
And this one being Italian, state of the art is just that,
.
Have a look.
.



OK so what am I up to?
.
Just looking at myself after many years away from extreme activities.
.
Went skiing a couple of months ago, first time in seventeen years.
.
Felt good came back quickly, like swimming, dive into the water and you immediately know what to do.
.
Still have the urge to jump sometimes however what is interesting is that I do not really miss it.
.
For many years I was sure that I would keep jumping all my life.
.
Well my life took another turn and this didn't happen.
.
Happy to see others doing these things.
.
Their turn to experience.
.
Their turn to learn about themselves.
.
Stages of life really.
.
Now I am into contributing.
.
Getting my rocks off helping others.
.
Learning to let go of my fears layer by layer.
.
Adrenaline fears are fine, but going beyond mind is more interesting by far.
.
Beyond mind is going through the right brain hemisphere into a state of different enhanced consciousness.
.
A state where so much more can be known and experienced.
.
Why?
.
Because it engages you in more ways than adrenaline rushes ever can.

And at the same time puts the way you experience life into a different more relaxed state.
.
A different state of consciousness.
.
So the point of this blog is to say
.
Lighten up in whatever you are doing.
.
We all tend to take ourselves too seriously.
.
Life as well.
.
Just enjoy everything.
.
Learn to let go
.
Good luck to the guys and girls doing the extreme stuff.
.
May you all walk away in one piece.
.
May you get as much as I did out of going to the edge.
.
Just smiling today because.
.
I was more than lucky!
.
Just smiling some more now as I begin to understand that there is so much more to life 
.
What a life, if we did but notice
.
So much to learn.
.
And as you do so you realize how little you know!
.
Never mind, even the best of our species started out one day with one small conscious step.
