To think deeply and clearly it is important to have down time to process the information that has begun to clutter up the space inside your head. Sorting through this “gob” is so important in this information age! I try daily to find spaces to hide in, relax in, restore myself in. When I have a day to relax and refresh, I acknowledge its importance. I read, or sleep, or do my art. I do not feel guilty about it. Lighting candles, reading the scriptures, praying, and other kinds of quiet pursuits remind me that the great phiolosophers of the past spent copious amounts of time away from general society.
