understanding the cyclic nature of things

sometimes feels like running on a treadmill

Very deep Run, very deep…

I have for many years felt like things were on pendulum swings of varying speeds and frequencies. Lately though I’ve thought maybe it’s just one big spin and things are going faster and faster.

OR, maybe you find a pattern of symbolism in randomly occuring events, chalk it up as the overly busy human mind I guess.

Maybe it’s more like a straight line that you deviate from in either direction. There was a beginning…and there will be an end.

To this life anyway.

If you are talking about a grander cycle, then that’s an opinion you’re entitled to. No sense in arguing a theory you’ll never get an answer to, and when the answer finally does come you may have no one to argue with.

…as for board design…well…

never run on a treadmill.saw a squirl do that

so I didn’t need to

pump gas if you have to

walk when you can

Ambrose,

What I so admire about your posts is the economy of words.

Why say something with four words, when it can be conveyed in two and still have as much, or as is often the case, more meaning?

Instead of giving a direct answer to a question you give us the guidance that we needed to find the answers with in ourselves.

I don’t know what you do outside of this forum, except for surf and build the occasional watercraft, but you are a teacher at heart.

Don’t stop doing what you do.

Sincere question: why do you feel like you’ve been running on a treadmill?

hey…at least you’re not going backwards

because i think too much

cant remember the last time i ran on a treadmill, it was as a kid messin around jumping on wen it was going full speed at my great aunts house

but the adult image running on a treadmill is clear, feels like i’m movin but i’m standin still kinda thing, with underlying currents of irony in trying to be healthy but in a sick manmade regimented indoor machine way…but the core is still positive? or vanity?

or maybe its an old treadmill wher u are powering something with your energy and doing work

nevr been keen on exercise cept stretching, ands the by-products of surfing, and working hard

roads have u-turns and the rivers been to the sea

just some random musings on the world and surfing and work and time and stuff, not an answer, argument, or complaint, thanks all for the thoughts

This’ll help cheer you up Run.Natural cycles

Sometimes…

lying down in the grass staring up as the clouds go by

or,

plugging my ears for a minute while sitting out in shark infested waters all by myself and then freeing them to hear all the nuances of the world around me

or

just listening to the laughter of children

that’s all I need for grounding every now and then

Sometimes staying away from the internet helps too…

havent you seen that treadmill song

make the treadmill fun
