Thank you so much to Kawika and Lisa for taking us out for an awesome day! It felt good being out there and getting in tune with my mind and body. I got lost in the rhythm of the strokes, the color of the water, the smell of the salt until Lisa called out "hut!' and brought my mind back to focusing on the next change. Not mindless work, but very mindful. My senses were heightened to all that was going around me. Felt good when we were all in sinc and moved the canoe through the water. Everyone working together, enjoying each other's company, enjoying the moment. Lauaki. A nice complement to a morning of brain workouts fleshing out SLOs.
There were times when I started to feel a little tired, or a little out of sinc, or took a second to wipe the salt water from my eyes. It was at those times when I felt the power and energy from the group still carrying us forward. Malama. The group took care of me. It was also those times that made me dig in even harder to do my part for the team and give back to everyone. Thanks for the ride! Mojitos, anyone?
