[MD] Zen and the Art of "flow experiences"

[Ian Glendinning]

Nice to see the Pirsig / ZMM reference.

Nice also to see that the "positive psychologists" recognise their
roots in Maslow - I mentioned how well Maslow's levels map to the MoQ
levels more than once before.

Interesting to see the "flow" metaphor too, not just the dynamic
quality / immediate experience connotations, but also in avoiding
objectification of the static patterns, which also evolve in fluid
ways. Alan Rayner also has a interesting fluid / flow-form angle I
recall  in his "inclusional" world-view.
