Post Christmas joy is being at Tofino. Walking the beach. Watching the penguins gather on the chilly shore. No, not birds, but surfers… covered from head to toe in black neoprene, shouting for joy at a good wave. Gray sand, gray sky .... an atmosphere crackling with life.
Why I love Tofino:
It is at the end of the world. For me, there is nothing else
beyond it. Time changes, there is only the present and my mind empties out. All
questions, quandaries, judgments disappear. The dramatic ocean swallows them
up.
There are no weather expectations and that is soooo
relaxing. Rain, sun, clouds – it doesn’t matter. You simply revel in whatever
nature serves up because it is always dramatic.
Tofino is my new corollary for life: try to stay rooted in
the present and throw out preconceived expectations.
