The image above, a windsurfer, immediately coneys a sense of action. The person is fully engaged, responding with their whole being to what is happening around them.
You can’t control the wind, but you can control how you move. The person is finely attuned to subtle changes in the wind and the water, adjusting moment by moment through small, precise shifts in balance and posture.
This is not unlike walking a high wire. Balance is not something you achieve once and hold onto. It is something that continually emerges through presence and responsiveness.
Proactive Mindfulness is about cultivating this quality of engagement in everyday life, meeting change as it unfolds.
