Flow

Lately I’ve been working jigsaw puzzles. Wooden ones. The pieces of a wooden puzzle are interesting and fit together in unusual ways.

When I try to “figure out” what goes where in a wooden puzzle, it doesn’t work. But when I just sit back and look for awhile and be content not to know, eventually my hands start moving and some pieces fit together. It’s as if there’s another part of my brain that works on its own, without help from me.

Some people call this being “in flow.”

Flow is a delightful state to be in because it’s effortless. In these days, may you simply be content to flow in life.
