The zen of waterskiing

At a family wedding this weekend in Austin, TX, I had a chance to go water skiing on beautiful Lake Travis. I have not water skied much in my life so I found it interesting to watch my mind as I tried to get up on skis and fell several times. But I concentrated on the technique and did my best to stay present with the physical phenomenon taking place around me, including my slightly aching hips.

Most importantly, I showed up and did my best, getting up on the skis many times. I really enjoyed myself. Because I was present.
