SLOMO - the man who skated off the grid
There are a handful of videos that I always go back to, to remind myself of what is truly important in the world, to re-inspire and to remember who I really am. Even though they come from many different sources of people that have never met, a lot of them share the same sentiments.
Most recently, I watched the mini documentary of a man named Slomo again.
Slomo spends a vast majority of his day doing what he loves... Rollerskating. Slowly. On one foot. Up and down Pacific Beach he goes all day and all night. One might think, what a character! And certainly, what a character indeed. Slomo, in his previous lifetime, Dr. John Kitchin, a reputable and wealthy neurologist who left it all behind to "do what you want to".
Rollerskating is not only Slomo's obsession but a place where he finds himself in the zone of expanded meditation. But he goes further to encourage us to run forward to everything that we can dream up, whether we go towards those dreams, is entirely up to us! Damn anybody who tells you otherwise and live a life that makes you deliriously happy, even if people will call it insane.
"For a while I thought I might be going crazy or something, because I'm too happy... and I kept waiting... that was 15 years ago".
"But now... I experience myself like the tip of a great iceberg of consciousness"
"Once we see the light, we know that there will be no satisfaction until we experience a kind of divinity. As close to divinity as man can experience".
It is SUCH an amazing 15 minute clip that I will gaurantee will make you smile at some point.
Do what you want to!!! <3
