Sleuth or Surfer?

Sometimes you think like a Sleuth, a Private Eye, a Detective, or maybe a Detector.

You spend so much of your life, running things down, searching for facts, ruminating over riddles, looking for motives, clues, patterns, explanations. Chasing every rabbit down every rabbit hole. You tell yourself you want to understand what's happening, to figure things out, to make sense, to know.

On the other hand, sometimes, you think, maybe you should just drop all that, and surf the wave. Ride the storm. Go with the flow. Navigate the waters, ride that board without getting wet. No need to understand the ocean, no need to figure things out, just ride the vibe, experience it, take it in and let it out. Be permeable. No borders. No hard lines. No worry. No explanations.

Sleuth or Surfer? Ok. Yes. I get it. Probably both...
