Its important to remember one thing: when working “in the flow” - there’s no motivations, no targets, no aims. There’s nothing holding you or pulling in any direction. With the flow, its not about “me doing something”, its about “me letting something happen”. There’s even no any sign of “me”, its the process, and “me” is only a part of it. It is crucial to be moved by the flow, not by motivation.

Michiru Oshima - You Were There (feat. S. Geraghty), ICO OST
Subhuti was Buddha’s disciple. He was able to understand the potency of emptiness, the viewpoint that nothing exists except in its relationship of subjectivity and objectivity.
One day Subhuti, in a mood of sublime emptiness, was sitting under a tree. Flowers began to fall about him.
“We are praising you for your discourse on emptiness,” the gods whispered to him.
“But I have not spoken of emptiness,” said Subhuti.
“You have not spoken of emptiness, we have not heard emptiness,” responded the gods. “This is the true emptiness.” And blossoms showered upon Subhuti as rain.
Nubuo Uematsu - Eyes on Me, Final Fantasy VIII OST Piano Edition
Nice calm piano music. Original edition was very good as well, btw.
“Summer Sun” by Jan Pieter Blank and RenĂ© Runge (aka Blank + Jones).
Most relaxing music I’ve ever heard.
There’s questions with answers known (and meaningful) only to those who’s asking. “What is happiness? What is love?” Answer of person, who’s asking will be most accurate for him.
But among this kind of answers there is some, which can be answered only by stopping asking, because the very fact of asking denies knowledge of the answer.
And absense of question is the answer itself.
The sound of one hand clapping.
