Allow the Impossible

From the Listening to Water series:

To allow the impossible is to invite adventure and hope. That's when the magic happens.

I've had a lifelong love of the ocean and though I grew up in the desert of Arizona, I wanted to be a surfer. My son surfs and more times than I can count, I have gone out with him to play in the water. I was inspired by a documentary on the history of surfing Mavericks, in particular a statement by Jeff Clark who said that to surf Mavericks was "to allow the impossible to happen". I think it's a Truth that can be applied to every adventure one takes in life.
