By Dave Robinson

One on one with nature,
Communing with the world.
Learn its precious secrets,
The kind of life you yearned.

A complex equation rules the act
Through mass ‘n’ tilt ‘n’ speed.
Add water density, angle of attack,
It’s the recipe to succeed.

Let’s glide and skip and splash
Till we become water and sand.
The way of the warrior becomes us.
And enlightenment is at hand.

The careful search for the right stone,
Look hard, dig deep.
On a million year long journey,
Moved by destiny, shaped by time.

Some are climbing Everest,
Or busy making clones.
Becoming CEO or MVP,
But I’m still skimming stones.

Some are sailing round the world,
Or learning seven tongues.
Inventing things to make life great,
But I’m still skimming stones.

Some are finding a cure for cancer,
Or on a mission to Mars.
Writing a best-selling novel,
But I´m still skimming stones.
