To Jennifer from Irene - *flow*

 


Here are some splendid flowers from Irene. She exchanged a few times and then I didn't hear from her. It was fun to find out that she was just on a *shifting* adventure. Shifting is the word that some people use for *moving.* I do not recall where I first heard it - but I like the sound of it....since so much of moving involves shifting things around in the new space to figure out how things are going to fit best. 

We are happy to have you back, Irene. I love how each petal looks like it is curved. Apologies for my broken record comment that I hope to get my brushes out one of these days.

Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says that when people are in 'flow' — which is basically a state of total absorption wherein the rest of the world falls away — they're happiest.


OK -- let's flow today. I'm wondering how long it took Mihaly's kids to learn how to write their last name.

I'm sorry I did not keep track of where I read that - I do so much reading - and so little sticks. If I were to make all the proper notations as I was reading and flipping over to the blog - it would take all the enjoyment out of both the blogging and the reading.
