A 
  friend of mine just forwarded me a few images from my last trip to Nicaragua 
  
  of the young girl Wendy and I at the beach. I had a good reminder of those few 
  moments 
  in life that you strive to be a part of. Wendy was the focus in my Surfers Journal 
  article 
  and has always been the face that drives my work and heart down in Nicaragua. 
  If only you had the 
  opportunity to spend one day with her... you would understand a lot more about 
  what this 
  life is really about. Regardless... these are photos of us at the beach. The 
  first time she has been 
  outside of the dump, Managua and a life un-explainable. The first time seeing 
  a surfboard and 
  feeling the movement of the waves, the first time smelling salt water and having 
  the sand
  burn her feet instead of the burning trash. Everything I've done in this life 
  has given no 
  greater perspective on whats real and whats important than to watch 
  Wendy play in the waves for one day.
  if only every day could be like this.
