Everything is in flow.The stream is already rolling. Moving from point A to point B is already happening.And like water - your energy will flow down the path of least resistance, UNLESS interrupted by a force. This force, can be your own resistance, or the resistance of the external world.As you encounter this resistance you'll either naturally flow around it or forcefully through it. The stream is still rolling. The flow continues. The experience of friction to where you want to go creates the perception of being slowed down, from the point of view of the observer. The flow is still happening. The stream is ongoing. Flowing with the stream. Reducing friction to get from point A, where you are now, to point B, where you want to be in a future step. Doing all that you can to make it as friction free and effortless as possible. And choosing to flow with the stream rather than against it.
Trying to fight the current is like going back in time. Trying to swim faster than the current is a vain exercise. Flowing with the current, directing where you want to go - through reducing resistance is the most leveraged way to flow. It conserves energy. It makes the experience more enjoyable. It makes things seem effortless.
Reducing friction is the key to feeling part of the flow , while using it. Reducing friction to be part of the flow. Not just wherever the flow wants to go but with an intentional design to it.
Cadet scout (while walking in the midst of the group) points to this sign and says, "look! reduce speed now!" and stops. short. Pan right. Jason and I rolling on the floor in laughter...again.
A bee mimic robber fly. This one waited patiently as I took his photo for several minutes. Took forever to figure out what it really was.
