Quotes by Jaimal Yogis (?)

“As on many mornings in Marin, there is this sly strip of fog - water in it's most mystical incarnation - slithering over, around, and through the hills, making everything look ancient and unsolved.”
― Jaimal Yogis, Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer's Quest to Find Zen on the Sea

tags: ancient, fog, incarnation, mystical, unsolved

“The body moves naturally, automatically, unconsciously, without any personal intervention or awareness. But if we begin to use our faculty of reasoning, our actions become slow and hesitant.”
― Jaimal Yogis, Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer's Quest to Find Zen on the Sea

“Surfing is kind of a good metaphor for the rest of life.
The extremely good stuff - chocolate and great sex and weddings and hilarious jokes - fills a minute portion of an adult lifespan.
The rest of life is the paddling: work, paying bills, flossing, getting sick, dying.”
― Jaimal Yogis, Saltwater Buddha: A Surfer's Quest to Find Zen on the Sea
