The Importance of Intimacy
Dogen Zengi, a famous Zen master, said that enlightenment is intimacy with all things. If you can learn how to have intimacy with the pain, the suffering, the fear, the anger, the sadness, that's Zen. That's what flow is. You don't need fear to get into a flow state. I consider fear to be more of a precursor to courage. It's possible actually to be truly courageous in the absence of fear.
