The Hush of Advent

Yesterday I spent 45 minutes staring out the window, just letting my mind wander. It was glorious. I guess the idea of sitting in one place with only your own thoughts to occupy you is a nightmare to some, but I’ve learned that I need intentional times of doing literally nothing in order to live well. (I actually happen to be an expert in sitting and staring. By the way, if you’re one of the countless people who’ve thought I was staring at you, forgive me. I promise I was just lost in thought.)
