”

The difficulty of always feeling that you ought to be doing something is that you tend to undervalue the times when you’re apparently doing nothing, and those are very important times. It’s the equivalent of the dream time, in your daily life, times when things get sorted out and reshuffled.

Brian Eno (via austinkleon)

I was also listening to some poetry readings the other day, and George Oppen said that boredom and free time are very important too. I very much agree. Do nothing, it’s good for you. You know that line that goes something like “when he’s looking out the window, he’s working.” Yeah, that’s basically it. I’m working alright. The next time someone tells you to get busy or calls you a slob, just tell them to bugger off because you are indeed very busy! I get so irritated that people don’t understand how important this is! YEAH!
