Tomo Fujita Guitar Wisdom

Aloha Sunil!

Because the wave exists.

Kurt

There are no wrong answers my friend.
I like that one!
I surf because the wave is there!

But if you go to the beach and just watch the surfers…just watch the waves. With neutral state of mind. This means let go of all the anchor lines of emotion and attachment to everything you see, pay attention only with joy. You will see the golden surfer at dawn or dusk. So tell yourself to go to the beach to watch the sun begin or end. Then the golden surfer appears…because you were ready to see them…but now again same question is there. So now what?

I actually did this for two years lolol…go to blacks beach near ucsd…crazy…when I met shilpa she was just lost like me…like Tomo she sacrificed everything.
Immigrants make a leap of faith to come here. Which is really hard, and it *might* get easier. I am a son of immigrants born in Oakland, California. But I didn’t understand what my dad and mom did. Only until I knew shilpa.

She came to study art. Parents, upper middle class in Mumbai, totally sacrificed everything to let their daughter leap.
She was not thriving in India. She is the rebellious learner, like me. But then school was also triple the cost of residents in California. And she would just get some jobs and not go to school so she could pay for school…you’re right that doesn’t make sense.

At that time I was making more money than my dad, who made a lot of money and built his own home in the hills with the view of the city…his guitar was the jet engine, and his dream is flight. He had to learn to fly to leave, and he kept flying. But didn’t need to. I think it was the only time I felt my dad was proud of me…

So anyways…the question still stands:

why does the golden surfer surf

Another clue.

Between the beats there is the not-beat.
That is between the beats there is the nothing, not-nothing.

Yes we’re going to crazy town my friends to find the boundaries. Because that is why the boundaries exist I think, when we add them, they can give rise to the creative process.

In order to understand nothing (0) you can approach it from positive side or negative side…like limits in calculus.

Here I’m using ideas I know work in the real world (numbers, number line, and the concept of zero (0)).

So
understand what came before
0
understand what came after

Aloha, my friends!
