About 10:30 last night, wind howling, rain pouring, I got suited up full Patagonia rain gear, sou’wester hat, put on head lamp and went down to beach and faced the storm.
Wind so strong, raindrops felt like bullets on my face. I experimented leaning into the wind; I could lean forward maybe 10-15 degrees and the wind held me up.
Waves were pounding and there was lots of surf froth, like whipped cream. Decided not to shoot pics since doing so would spoil the experience.
Back home to shot of whiskey and hot bath.
There’s so much you can do to boost chi by engaging the elements.

Made me smile this rainy AM in DC as I’m about to face the elements – thanks, Lloyd 🙂
I do that when the fall storms are hitting Lake Michigan. Feels like you’re talking directly with mother nature
Yes! And in a hurricane, you can get that lean angle even more acute! What a feeling, no human intervention required.
