About Boredom
“Boredom is useful to me when I notice it and think: Oh I’m bored; there must be something else I want to be doing… boredom acts as an initiator of originality by pushing me into new activities or new thoughts.
Hugh Prather”
I know where Prather is going with this. My to-do list prevents me from getting bored. There are simply too many things that I haven’t gotten around to doing. I would probably pull out a notebook and start a list of blogging topics that I could use when I get home. Or maybe start notes on that novel I have been meaning to write.
But it would be nice to simply sit and do nothing… just to see what it feels like! Could you sit here under the shade of those trees and do absolutely nothing? If the builders ever get around to finishing our backyard, I just might try sitting out there for a few minutes?? just to see what it feels like. And if I manage that, maybe a beach somewhere would be nice.
But I will start with the backyard.
