Recognizing favorable moments or making things happen at the right time can be seen as part of magic as well. This can be compared with the behavior of a surfrider who patiently waits for the next wave to arise and then to be faced.
For a long time nothing might be happening. However, never nothing happens. In the background the necessary energies are building up, maybe unnoticed in the beginning.
At first, patience, trust, time and awareness are needed. Awareness in order to act in the right moment, in order to go to the point where the full power of the wave can be used to perfectly ride it.
Eventually, balance, skill and practice is needed in order to remain
stable and consequently to fully experience the fun of the ride.
