looking in the opposite  direction.   you can see the adirondack  chair where i sit.    So this is up the hill a little…where Minnow goes to plan how next to get her ball thrown.    Don't know why,  but i thought to go up there and sit.     i liked looking at the chair,  imagining me in it,   being an observer.   This is somehow associated with those two drawings of a few days ago….the Imagination and that Other…..    AND,    YouTube,  as it does,   brought me a surprise.    a young woman telling me of 6 Simple Dutch Habits for Happiness, Health and Self Care.    The first of the 6 is    Niksen.    The Dutch Art of  "doing nothing".              the Art of Doing Nothing.     that's as far as i got.

    I really admire people who can practice the Art of Doing Nothing! I imagine this as sitting with a blank mind.. I feel my mind is not even still while I sleep! Hmmmm maybe I should read up on this… maybe it doesn’t mean that.. off I go…

    Ok! I believe my next week after this Sunday will be filled with Niksen! Absolutely nothing is planned, a blank schedule, relaxing and no calendar items scheduled! Looking forward to alone time!

    That’s funny, I think YouTube fed me the same video. I remember her talking about Niksen and I didn’t watch the whole thing. Now that you’ve reinforced the message, I’ll have to practice it!
