Yep.

For me it's about kinetics: balancing weight, motion,
gravity in three dimensions above a three dimensional
world. It is a lot like dancing the waltz but it is
much more slippery than that.

Now, someone is going to correct me and say that it
is mass instead of weight, etc. but engineering terms
do not convey sensations.
