The beauty of doing nothing...an Italian phrase. Americans are the hardest workers in the world. We work the longest hours, days, weeks, months and years. Even when we are off, we have list of fun things to do...no downtime to day dream.
The beauty of doing nothing is a mantra in Italy. You might discover something about yourself...if you just gave yourself the time. You might discover you are more interesting than you thought...if you could only have the time to hear yourself.
You might find out that "the beauty of doing nothing" is really beautiful...you might hear your heart beat and the air moving in and out of your lungs...and it might be like beautiful music.
So, when I look at this photo of a friend who is practicing "la bellezza di non fare nulla" I can feel the air, the sand, the warmth and know that if one of us can do nothing...then all of us can enjoy doing nothing also.
