Inviting Wonder

This morning, coming home from Lake Cheston, I thought about idleness, a virtue I have adopted over the last three years.  Don't get me wrong: I value work, and I work hard.  But each day I also enter another realm of activity -- that of not-work or idleness -- in which I write poems and make books, walk the woods or lake and take pictures, blog and read. 

Then, after coming home from work, I found this on David's blog.  At the end of the trailer, he says, "There are all these sensory details that if you just give them attention chase boredom away and invite this great rush of wonder into your life."



These quiet hours of idleness feed me more than work ever has.
