And she FLOWS..When she goes out into the night, she flows into it, the night and her physiqie becoming one of a piece. A beautiful thing, but not quite so great when I'm trying to find her again !<BR/><BR/> I LOVE this blog, kerdelune.

It's that place where everything is easy and nothing is forced. It's so easy to forget how to get there and yet . . . it is only a breath (or two or three) away.<BR/><BR/>It's a place — or rather a state of being — that I can always get to, through your photos and words, dear Cate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-43537294711666653312008-04-19T02:20:00.000-04:002008-04-19T02:20:00.000-04:00I was so happy to read your post as I've been thin...I was so happy to read your post as I've been thinking about flow a lot recently. I've been wondering how my experience of time would be different if I focused on going with the flow rather than meeting deadlines. <BR/><BR/>There's a book about flow written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who asked people about peak experiences. Unfortunately it's rather dry (no pun intended). I think of flow as a visceral, intuitive experience. That is I know when I am going with the flow. But too often I try to get somewhere faster and ignore the flow in the moment. It is sweet when I am with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-51587782304570565822008-04-18T16:08:00.000-04:002008-04-18T16:08:00.000-04:00Just happened upon your site via a link on Shelli'...Just happened upon your site via a link on Shelli's blog. Absolutely beautiful. Both the words..and the images. <BR/>To me - 'flow' is being in the moment..in a total state of conscious awareness..where time has a way of standing still. Being in the flow is being in a state of meditation. Your images certainly reflect the sense of flow.<BR/><BR/>And - where are you in Ontario? I grew up in Montreal..spent many summers in both Algonquin and Temagami parks.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for sharing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-52526278797093463472008-04-18T15:53:00.000-04:002008-04-18T15:53:00.000-04:00kerrdeluneThis is a lovely post.

OK, I just got up from my chair here in the backyard and did an interpretation via movement. It looked like I was dancing in a swimming pool.Crayonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04381728158412423377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-35830638074747029042008-04-18T15:41:00.000-04:002008-04-18T15:41:00.000-04:00Flow is a beautiful word.

I'm not sure exactly what it means to me, but it evokes the image of a mountain stream and my heart, floating on top of it.Shellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02634919180872634636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15897842.post-35973591606844704392008-04-18T12:53:00.000-04:002008-04-18T12:53:00.000-04:00Where you are, sounds amazing.
