Saltwater Buddha

“A surprisingly deep tribute to the quest for surf and serenity." Publishers Weekly (starred Review) / Now also a feature documentary film

Friendly reminder to schedule play on the calendar, no matter how old you are. It’s not irresponsible. Play leads to flow states, which lead to thinking more clearly and creatively, making better decisions, boosting immunity, feeling happier and the list goes on. Oh and it’s fun

Had a paddle today and was reminded of a simple truth: you can’t change the weather, can’t change the rotation of the planets, can’t change other people. But you can change your perspective. We are always on the universe’s wild ride & we can only enjoy the wave we’re on now

So fun reading the @Mop_Rides books with kids in Big Sky Montana. They all agreed Mop needs to go snowboarding in the next edition. I couldn’t agree more

The stoke is not your imagination! A @Deakin study found that structured, six-week surf therapy programs significantly reduce anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms in youth while improving resilience, self-esteem, and social connectedness. Keep Surrrrfin

Ran into @MattAllen_Art - illustrator of the @mop_rides books and creator of so much rad ocean art - on a road trip north for his OCN Culture art show tomorrow in San Anselmo. If you’re in the north bay go check out his photos and prints & maybe get a MOP book signed 🤙🛸🌊

Sharing this new (for me) spin on an old meditation practice that I really love. Let me know if you try it or have your own way of practicing 🙏🤙✨ (also metta is spelled with two ts but closed captions 🤪)

Been a stormy year. Friendly reminder that your oceanic self can weather the wild winds and stay peaceful in the depths 🙏🌊 #saltwaterbuddha

Just found this old drawing I did. It can be scary, but may we learn to live with open hearts. Happy Valentines Day!

@JCBolWag @patlicata @SenMarkKelly 241,000 Afghans dead yet nobody seems to care about that.

How cool is this? At Virginia Beach library you can check out a surfboard with your books! Two of life’s greatest pleasures for free.

Signed more City of Dragons at Barnes & Noble in DC. Such a friendly staff there. Get em before they’re gone ! @BNBuzz

Recycling this one in case it resonates today. You may feel caught in a tempest but the storms at sea are small compared to the sea of the mind. And each storm sends beautiful waves in all directions.

It’s all part of the flow 🙏

[Saltwater Buddha @SaltwaterBudda]

An ancient law that’s still highly relevant 🙏🌊

When you feel small, how do you connect to the ocean of wisdom inside?
