What do sufis and surfers have in common this Valentine’s Day?
Poetry and Passion. Reverence and Romance.
Like sufis, surfers also have authentic style – a “whirling dervish” of a dance. An intimate relationship shared with a wave at that precious moment in time. A state of grace we meet in the water. A smile, a zeal of stoke that kisses the salty sea like Rumi’s mystical words elevate the omnipresent heart and the spirit of oneness. Opening the heart to our divinity and the love that flows marvelously through all life and human beings, with the blessings of Heaven and Earth. Wishing you a joyous and happy Valentine’s Day.
“Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave ’til it gets to shore.”
“Don’t wait any longer.
Dive in the ocean,
Leave and let the sea be you.”
“Your heart is the size of an ocean. Go find yourself in its hidden depths.”
– Rumi
