I saw a picture today of bright yellow leaves against a two steps lighter than cobalt sky.
When was the last time you looked up? Straight up; not at the top of a building, or the chalkboard menu at the coffee shop--but right up into the blue/grey/black/weird pink-orange sky--that kind of up. Remember lying on your back and looking at clouds. Who does that anymore? And why don't we do it more?
We've lost sight of the necessity of noodling time. Time to wander wherever our imaginations go. I think that this is the place where all ideas come from. Well, there and boredom. When is the last time you spent hours figuring out some new way of doing something because the only thing of value you had was time. Yes, I consider time a kind of currency. Think about it; wealthy person pays for the privilege of getting things done quickly. Poor person pays with the only commodity he or she has; time. Case in point; wealthy person goes to doctor, gets examined, gets prescription, picks up prescription. Poor person goes to clinic or emergency room and waits.
Time is the only thing that we have. Why do we squander it on things that won't add to our time. I thought by now we'd be so efficient that no one would have to work more than a few hours a week. Yet somehow, with all the efficiencies, we're working even more--and being less and less satisfied with what we do.
Amazing.
