There is a lost art. An essential art.
An art that unlocks the door to the deepest parts of yourself.
It’s called: wasting time.
Anathema, I know. Especially from a time management and productivity expert!
Yet, without wasting time prodigiously, you will always be caught in the slipstream of life, without ever savoring its deep joy.
Our dominant cultural message is: stay busy, do more, drive harder.
But at what cost?
It seems that “we have lost the habit of unprofitable pleasure,” writes the Carmelite mystic William McNamara. “We shall get nowhere, we shall never find life, life will escape us, unless we learn not to be always bustling about – unless we learn to be still, to let things happen around us, to wait, listen, receive, contemplate.”
You will never connect with the real treasure; you will never know the true value; you will never taste the bountiful goodness that surrounds you every moment your life; unless you recover and practice this lost art.
The holidays are here again. The slipstream will become a vortex.
Unless you deliberately plan to waste some time.
What do you think?
Will you give it a try?
