   That is what I love to dance to! This kind of music and living life as an art.

   Life as an art:
   living your own life, following your own passions. Listening to your spirit. Being you at all times, for yourself, not for others. Being the best that you can be. Honouring your own existance.

   Impeccable timing, as I just read a Fast Company profile of Csikszentmihalyi this afternoon.

   Dr. C. introduced me to a good term, "autotelic," to describe an action that becomes its own reward.

   The faces of the dancers that you captured in this photo serve as a beautiful definition of autotelic activity.

   I would add a corollary to his orginal statement, "…live life as a work of art, rather than as a systematic response to chaotic external events."

   It takes no particularly special effort to be chaotic or reactionary. The art of living lies in the boundary layer.

   Yes… it’s very SFI…. everything interesting occurs at the edge… between chaos and predictable determinacy…
