“…he determined that the bright and happy children had only one thing in
common: All of them spent noticeable amounts of time staring peacefully
and wordlessly into space.”
I really hope this
works for adults too. Sometimes I think my job description
includes ‘staring peacefully and wordlessly into space’ I have been
practicing for years 🙂
Actually some of my most relaxing moments come out on the front patio,
sitting quietly and still so that all the neighboring wildlife comes by
for a visit. As part of that I stare into the upper reaches of
the oaks out front trying to locate the small birds that like to light
up there. Am I brilliant, I sense that at those times, I
sometimes feel happy.
