It's been perfect timing, because Jamie Ridler's book club "The Next Chapter" is studying "The Joy Diet" and the first chapter is about adding a little more of "nothing" into our lives. I've added it in big doses in the last few days. Sitting and staring out the train window, wandering aimlessly down the streets of 2 new cities... it's all been a lot of joyful "nothing", but EVERYTHING at the same time.
I know it will be whole lot harder to find 15 minute snippets in my day-to-day life to continue the practice of doing nothing, but for now, I'm certainly enjoying what I've got. One day at a time.
There are a whole lot more photos to come (Millennium Park is amazing at dusk), but this seemed like a suitable "nothing" shot.

Enjoy! So wish I was digging, too!
Oh, I'm a BIG FAN of nothing. Good for you. I do hope you can carve out time for nothing in spite of raising a family.
that is a GREAT do nothing photo!
But you're in Cleveland! You could be visiting the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Wouldn't that go well with your mission? :-)
Perhaps that sari is a bit too off-colour? :-)
what a gREAT photo.
I do too much of nothing lately.
I'm so glad you made it to Millennium Park! Soak it all in and enjoy your time digging!
oh lucky, lucky you for getting to attend the creative dig workshop. i am jealous! :) i love your take on nothing. it's really amazing how much can come from nothing. looking forward to sharing the truth with you my friend. hugs!!
Can't wait to see your Cleveland photos (my old home town)! I'll settle for your feet in Chicago for now! ;)
By the way, if I had known, it would have been way easier for me to get to Cleveland to meet you than Toronto. At least 3 hours closer.
It sounds like your experience with nothing were truly wonderful and magical! Ah, trains... they are a such a relaxing way to travel.... I look forward to exploring truth with you!
