Surf and Nothingness

I try to leave nothing behind. Being a minimalist I shape my behavior by listening and sympathizing rather than centralizing and seeking the spotlight. I have learned about the power of "nothingness" by listening to the samba of Adoniran Barbosa, reading the verses of Mário Quintana, and reflecting upon the philosophical lessons of Guimarães Rosa. Everything makes sense when I realize that nothing really matters. I am a grain of sand on the beach. My community perpetuates while my body perishes. Responsibility is leaving no traces behind so that everyone can freely enjoy the next wave.
