This Tuesday’s essay, the second to focus on making meaning, is about flow.

Written essays on Natural Selections are always publicly available. Audio posts are generally for paying subscribers only, but occasionally—as this week—I will make them available to all. Please share. And thank you.

Some of us find meaning in creation—of building things that have never existed before, be they made of words or pigment or wood. Some of us find meaning in exploration and discovery—of finding new places, or new ways of looking at known places; of looking so close, or so far, that we see things that have not been seen before. Some of us find meaning in healing, in touch and insight that results in betterment, which allows the person on the receiving end to become more functional. Others in helping in other ways, or in elucidating—in teaching, for instance. Others in communication or interpretation, in building teams, or in leading them.
