Resonant Thoughts: Paul Loomans’ “Time Surfing”(2017)

“Being attuned to time, allowing it to ripen, trusting your intuition, using what emerges. It’s like surfing. Surfing with sensitivity and finesse over the ever-changing waves of time. Time Surfing” (31).

“Choose one thing as your main task right now. Don’t have all kinds of different files open simultaneously as you work on them a little at a time” (37).

“Elevate monotonous tasks to an art form” (53).

“When we become one with our movements, they take on elegance. You can also see this when you watch a craftsperson at work. Their expertise transforms their work into artistry, and them into an artist” (54).

“When you’re on a train and looking out at the passing landscape, it doesn’t take long before you’re musing about all sorts of things. Your thoughts have free rein. You’re neither in A, where you’ve come from, nor in B, where you’re heading. And this gives your mind the chance to gain an overview. You’re speeding not only over the rails, but also over your life as it is right now. From this vantage point, your mind starts to make connections. It notices how you’ve changed […] When you’re in one place, whether it’s A or B, it’s not as easy to notice changes. Distance provides perspective” (59).

“Our intuition usually presents us with a number of possibilities. They are all in harmony with the wavelength of the present moment” (120).
