I keep wanting to read that book and have not gotten around to it! It does take practice to do nothing. I tend to be fidgety too, physically and mentally. LOL! <br/><br/>@Professor Donovan :) Meditation does quiet the mind, doesn't it? I have tried to help teach my nieces about "quiet time" to start their day. We are such a go-go culture that we don't take time to just spend time with ourselves. I spent a lot of quiet time before starting my business too and am not sure I would have been able to do it without being fully present and quiet. Did you find that too? @Steph, great photo!

Since I'm not a person inclined to sit still for very long, I'm still learning this artform, but I'm aware of the amazing value. You can recharge, and clear your mind and make room for creativity, clarity, and spirituality, and find balance, something too often elusive in our fast-paced lives. Great post, Karen!
