You and Nudger both talked about "flow"... as in "not approaching life's events with resistance, but (like a leaf) floating along the river... perhaps going where life takes you.

Speaking only for myself, I was referring to the psychological state of flow as defined by Csikszentmihalyi, in which there is perfect alignment between intention and ability during the performance of a focused activity.
