![“In this world, this life, "flow" [the times when our work or play so absorbs and attunes our energies that we lose track of time] comes to an end.

And, too, the book is finished…” quote by Andy Crouch](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6df/andy-crouch-15704_andy-crouch_in-this-world-this-life-flow-the-times-w_2400806.jpg)
