Tell Me Somethin' Good
Welcome to my intertidal zone.
My name is Madison (Maddog, Mammer, Mad) and I am a devoted naturalist that delights in: porch sitting, SCUBA diving, disc golf, my doggies, surfing, SUP, science education, yoga, kayaking, surf and nature photography, bouldering, reading, metal sculpture, marine biology, Spikeball, bonfires, the jungle, birding, traveling, knot tying, playing drums, saltwater fly fishing, pottery, sandwiches, fossils, camping, beer, hammocks, and thesauruses.

And he explained, so absurdly simply, that if there’s nothing you can do about something, then you do nothing. And in that moment, the feeling of injustice, the frustration, it was lifted, it was gone, there was nothing to do. I realized I’d made it up, I’d made it up that it was an injustice, I’d made up the frustration, it was all a story. And it’s the same with the past, you can’t change the past, there’s no need to heal it, it’s only a story that you’ve created. All you can do is let go of the story. You can’t change yourself—all you can do is let go of the story of who you are, let go of the character that you’ve created from fear.
