Doing Nothing

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing,
of just going along,
listening to all the things you can't hear,
and not bothering.
- A. A. Milne (Winnie-The-Pooh)

To acquire knowledge, one must study;
but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
- Marilyn vos Savant

Rest when you're weary.
Refresh and renew yourself,
your body, your mind, your spirit.
Then get back to work.
- Ralph Marston

Look closely... See with new eyes...
Don't just pass by what is familiar without a thought.
Pay attention and look closely.
There is beauty - there is discovery -
there in a whole new world hiding
beneath the face of the familiar.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

A time for work, a time for play -
balance in all things.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
