I recently read the book “The Art of Stillness” by Pico Iyer where he discusses in a short and simple way how we can find stillness in our lives that are seemingly filled with stress, too much technology and overall noise that distracts us from ever truly being still. A part of the last page really struck me as I was reading:
In an age of speed I began to think nothing could be more invigorating thing going slow. In an age of distraction nothing can feel more like serious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still
One thing I’m going to strive for in the coming weeks is to disconnect more, let my mind wander and maybe take a visit to “nowhere”.
