That was awesome, Sea.
I went through a period of pretty much total paralysis for about 5 years after my wife was killed, and another two years passed before I could say I had truly recovered.
It's interesting you mention Buddhism in the original post, because my recovery started after meeting a Buddhist. I was on Karon Beach in Thailand one evening, just sitting and watching the surf. I hadn't surfed since she died, and this local guy came from out of nowhere and said "You look like you want to be out there. I'll go with you. I surf it all the time."
Long story short, turns out he's a Buddhist, and we talked a lot after that. Every day. I didn't get on the water that year, but I did when I went back a couple years later. Wish he'd have been there. (he was fine, he just wasn't in Trang)
