“this stick is the most important thing in the world. it’s what gives life meaning. it’s what keeps me in this present moment, free of worry from the past or future. this stick is my entire life, for there is no such thing as past or future, just an everlasting present moment. and this is my present, this is my life. please chase me, rip it out of my mouth and throw it so I can chase it. life is simple and I know what I want…” -doG, Playa Potrero, Costa Rica
