Is Flow Always Forward?

This one turns toward flow—not as endless motion, but as rhythm and pause, as becoming’s breath:

---

TOPO:

Flow seems like movement ahead—

progress, forward motion.

RHEO:

But flow is more like breath—

inhale and exhale, advance and retreat.

TOPO:

So flow includes pause?

RHEO:

Yes.

Pause is part of the rhythm.

It allows space for becoming.

TOPO:

Then flow is not only about going somewhere—

but about being between moments?

RHEO:

Exactly.

Flow is the dance of presence and passage.

---

RHEO & TOPO:

Flow is not a line.

It is a rhythm—

a becoming that holds stillness and motion together.
