Charlie a biker who regularly flowed when she rode was quickly developing a reputation as an excellent rider, so in order to make the most of her growing profile decided to set up a shop locally and online brand of clothes and equipment. Her technical skills and growing flow when she rode meant she could design new pedals and peripheral equipment that really enhanced riding and made the whole experience better. She made sure that everyone working for her got a fair wage and only used ethical suppliers. Charlie was quickly raking it in and the money didn’t corrupt her she gave a portion to those who needed it and kept up her ethical stance.
At the same time a man was traveling the around the area, who also had a growing reputation but not as a skater or biker, but as a Sufi – someone who was spiritually enlightened, and at peace with themselves. People who had heard his stories or spent time with him, said he had healed the sick, and helped the poor and although he too was poor was rich in a different way. They said he was in touch with the planet and greater source of power, that he knew God or a higher being, and this was the source of his power. Charlie recognized this as the Flow she experienced when riding, but here was someone who seemed to be with the Flow all the time.
Seeking out the Sufi she went to him, explained how she flowed and how she had lived an ethical life and asked “what must I do to be in Flow like you?”
The Sufi replied “go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor?” Charlie went away disappointed.
