The Search for Freedom Page #7

you put them on the rock.

You pull yourself up.

You are 100% responsible for yourself.

You've got to know

that knot's tied right.

You've got to know who your partner is.

You need the trust of a partner.

I bring that up to our youngsters.

I say, "Rock climbing

is like what you guys do."

"if you get yourself into something,

how are you going to get out?"

I think for me, sometimes it's just

to see the potential in something

and try to bring it out.

Trying to grab surfing is like

trying to hold a snowflake.

You know, the minute you try to hold it

and possess it, it melts.

The wave is forming in front of you.

The wave is over your head.

Your wake is disappearing.

Your footprints are washed

from the beach.

There's no material production

from having done it.

There's no depletion,

there's no creation.

It's just an aesthetic instant.

And out there, when all that

holds you back is the horizon,

that's real freedom.
