A quote that I read today:
Idleness is not doing nothing. Idleness is being free to do anything.I'm a mom. I'm an employee. I'm a significant other. I am a sister. I am a friend. I am ... busy. I think it has been drilled into most female heads that idleness is somehow bad.
Is it? Really? When was the last time I went to a park and sat on the grass and just watched the trees? Or went to a museum and watched the paintings - ever changing in their non-changing state. It's hard being idle now-a-days. Faster, immediate, now - we live in a crazy world of cell phones, buy online, dvds at a click and so much more "NOW" stuff.
So I'm going to make it a goal to try to be idle. To not read, to not make, to not craft, to not cook, to not talk, to not fix, to not run, to not answer - to just be. Be idle - and see what the world brings along.
Love to you.
