74. Flow in Composing Music
‘You’re in an ecstatic state to such a point
that you feel as though you almost don’t
exist. I have experienced this time and
again. My hand seems devoid of myself,
and I have nothing to do with what is
happening…(the music) just flows out of
itself’
Csikszentmihalyi, 1975

75. Description of the Flow Experience
when Writing Poetry
‘You’re right in the work, you lose your sense of
time…you’re completely enraptured, you’re
completely caught up in what you’re doing,
there’s no future or past, it’s just an extended
present in which you’re making meaning …’
Poet Mark Strand, 1991
