Probably my own sensitivity led me to bristle a bit at the end of this excellent article, when the author wrote:
“(Sensitivity) might explain the larger culture, too. Not only did the toughest personalities brave the ocean to face the unknown, but once here, sensitivity would have seemed an Old World luxury.”

Otherwise, pretty insightful. Thanks for posting.

A good metaphor… is a way to let you feel and know something differently.

[…]

Metaphors give words a way to go beyond their own meaning. They are handles on the door of what we can know and of what we can imagine. Each door leads to some new house and some new world that only that one handle can open.

What’s amazing is this: By making a handle, you can make a world.

Quotes from article:
Surfing amounts to a kind of faith – faith that the world will work in your favour, if you just do your part, and keep doing the next right thing…
From Book;Surfers go along with the flow of a wave by intuitive sensing, by attuning to their surroundings with their whole bodies and not simply their brains or eyeballs…

Attunement comes by faithful practice, but without the Buddhist’s hard road to enlightenment, the abnegation of desire, any radical loss of the self, and without all the effort in constant “mindfulness,” or in striving for personal perfection. The surfer just goes surfing and with relative ease transcends him- or herself in a dynamic, attuned bodily relationship to the world outside.
