“Flow systems have two basic features (properties).”

There is the current that is flowing (for example, fluid, heat, mass, or information) and the design through which it flows.

The fact that the same proportionalities rule optimal running,

Animate and inanimate they all develop in space and in time such that they optimize the flow of material.

In fact, animal locomotion is no different than other flows

The designs we see in nature are not the result of chance.

Based on experience, knowledge, it is the creative exploitation of the unforeseen.

it must evolve in such a way that it provides easier access to the imposed currents that flow through it.

They rise naturally, spontaneously, because they enhance access to flow.

And playing them really sloppy. Keeping it very basic-and using only a few notes-and playing slowly with perfect rhythm is a task in itself.

I was literally reduced to basic breath and blinks while she inhabited my vessel and told her story through me.

I couldn’t think. The basics of my life seemed altered and thrown into question.
