Is idleness something more?
What does idleness mean? Merely a chance to let the unconscious mind do its work? Something more? Maybe it means accepting and receiving what is given us? Something more? Let us sit and see.

Many things to do
Mary Oliver writes in What Do We Know pp 44-45 that there are so many things to do in this beautiful world, so many things to be done. I am reading that as two diverging ways we approach the world. Mostly we have to do lists. But beauty is the really real. Experiencing what the world has to give, receiving without taking: this is what we should choose as why we are here. We work the grinding wheel so that we can ride the Ferris wheel. A little work, a lot of thankful receiving.

Probate is a door
Probate is less a box
To hold things away for a time
& more a door
That opens and clears the way
