“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky, is by no means waste of time.”

~John Lubbock, “Recreation,” The Use of Life, 1894

Rest is essential, and often is the best use of our time!

I keep trying to convince my wife of this. She goes stir crazy if sitting quietly for too long.

Beautiful photo and nice sentiment from Lubbock. I’m all for that kind of contemplation but my wife, well, not so much :)
