Action sports combines with spiritual adventure in Grummons’ nonfiction book.
Pearland, TX, USA (November 30, 2012) — Douglas Grummons’ Ten Thousand Waves takes the reader on a surfer’s journey of riding waves and the fruits that come with them. It is an East meets West spiritual adventure.
Ten Thousand Waves is a true-life story of surfer Doug Grummons. The author rewinds his personal story back to the very first wave he ever stood up on. From that very first wave onward his life took a slightly different path. After a spiritual encounter on top of a mountain that left him amazed he found spirituality in many different forms. An extreme sports enthusiast, Doug uses his life stories as a surfer, snowboarder, skydiver, and aikidoist to illustrate his many perceptions. The author gives insights and explains who we are and why we are here living on this beautiful planet. “Life’s greatest mysteries come to the surface of consciousness by falling in love with the ocean,” he said.
As a surfer who meditates and studies the ways of the East, Doug lays out the basics of Eastern thought in easy to understand explanations. Grummons takes Zen into new territory in what he calls Extreme Zen. Doug coined the term one day while skydiving to describe the experience of bringing mind, heart, soul, and body together in all his passions. Grummons explains, “True liberation is not to be free from the wheel of life and death. True liberation is to be free from liberation itself.”
