Half circles litter the sky. They are tethered to people on the water tethered to their surfboards. Would you try this on the windiest island in the Caribbean? Could you keep in check your sense of feeling out of control as you feel the exhilaration pulsating in your heart and on your skin in the form of slapping wind and water?
This is meditation time, time to be one with the wind, the water, and in the moment. There is no thinking about the emails that are piling up in your inbox. Just as the half circles are tethered to people tethered to their surfboards, kitesurfing tethers participants to the present moment. The slapping wind and water will bring you back to it if you try to run back to the past or forward to the future.
If you can't kitesurf now, enjoy this four-minute video that serves as a Barbadian meditation. Watch the half circles litter the sky. Let your ears take in the calypso. You can almost feel the wind and the water.
