So beautifully conveyed:

...”the living motion of the floor itself. That is my artistic medium. A musician works in sound. A sculptor works in stone. I work in motion and patterns… I stop and watch. To someone else, it may look like forklifts, carts, pallets, cases, people, and equipment moving through a building. To me, it looks like a sculpture coming alive…That is why I compare it to music. When a band locks in, it becomes greater than any individual instrument or performer. You feel it. Each person is still playing a separate part, yet the parts belong together. A warehouse can do that, also. A good floor has a pulse. A great floor finds a groove... ”

Thank you, so much. I spent a lifetime trying to put words to my "why" and it came to me on the floor one day, when flow was properly returned and I sat with that overwhelming beauty of it.
