I attended the Life Rolls On Foundation surfing event in Carolina Beach, NC. It is a non-profit that’s mission is to improve the quality of life for people affected by spinal cord injury.

A rose comes in million different colors. And all hearts beat the same. Morning doves line across the fence, As they begin to coo around five am, While the sun has not risen yet. Waking up to the sound of each bird, And having my hands filled with a million hearts, Hoping to find that heart, That will sync with mines. Breath for breath, And beat for beat, Come and make this heart sync. Giving it a reason to beat. I don’t wanna be alone, For the rest of my life, Holding onto
