"Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets," The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration - it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done." -Tim Kreider Excerpt from post“The Busy Trap” http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/30/the-busy-trap/
Wishing you some moments of nourishing "down time" this evening
