Boredom

They say that boredom is an endangered species, one that most people don’t embrace these days. There is always smartphones, podcasts to listen to, activities to do. No time for boredom. But sometimes I embrace having nothing to do.

It’s not a bad thing to spend some time in the woods just listening to the birds, watching the flicker of the sunlight in the branches of the tree. Sit totally still, watch the deer walk by, the chipmunk rustle the leaves the barn owl hoot in the distance.

Sometimes I intentionally embrace being bored.
