It also makes me think of somebody with the unpronounceable name Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. In my previous life as a translator, I’ve translated many psychology books and articles. During my background reading, I repeatedly came across his research.
In his famous book Flow: The psychology of optimal experience (that I haven’t read), he defines flow as: ‘…the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter…’ It is a particular kind of focus that seems to lead to intense feelings of happiness.
Am I ever in a state of flow? I don’t really know.
I used the flow yarn to knit another Thús 2 – a design I published in November last year.
Wat een mooie blog weer Marijke.
Dank je wel!
Lieve groet, Catharina
Wat leuk dat je even komt ‘buurten’!
