Clarity in motion

Flow is learning to go fast in a calm way. Flow is clarity while in motion. The opposite of flow might be "stuckness"—being immobilized while thoughts and fears swoop and swirl inside you.

Flow is a state of being that unschoolers can reach, in which they are no longer laboring to make conscious decisions about how to encourage learning and to maintain peace and joy. It might only last a few moments at a time, but it will be enough.

  1. I've noticed the apples in the last several post photos. Any significance ? Missed you yesterday ... hope you are well.

  2. Same apple. Sorry I missed yesterday; you're the first to notice (or to say so, anyway)!

    Things are fine, but busy. Rochester, Minnesota, talking, playing, lots of snow.
