Still Living

I'm not one to keep still for long. Like last night, when my friend put in a movie, I watched it while writing postcards and reading a novel and checking e-mail. I cannot spend an afternoon in a coffee shop unless it's spent writing an essay or planning an event or doing something "productive." Although we all have work to do, life sometimes requires periods of rest, and that's what I've been learning from my wise friends- the art of "still living." They keep telling me to just sit and relax and I'm learning it's okay to drive through vineyards, hike through mountains, and exploring ancient castles even if I don't get tangible results doing so.
