While living in Hampi, India in 2008 I came across an idea that resonated with me, Full Power. It was introduced to me in a joking way by a local as I would walk to and from the large granite boulders surrounding the town. "Going bouldering again, Tom?" "Yes, Rahnu." "Full power!" "How are the boulders today, Tom?" "They were very good, Rahnu." "Full power!" It was a simple daily conversation with a local man, but it stuck with me. I began to think of "full power" as the strength of one's participation in daily life and tried to live up to that. It is a continuous challenge.
