The art of doing nothing
Saying nothing
Being nothing
Is peculiar
It is a deed we have been schooled to shun
"An idle mind is the devil's workshop" scholars say
When in reality
It is God's factoryWhere and when he does,
Sanitations and repairs
Demolition and upgrades
Removal and replacements
Of contructs and beliefs,
Worries and doubts
Fear and hopeIn doing nothing,
Saying nothing
Being nothing
God works. Transformers. Reveals
Nothings into meanings.—Israel Olorunnisola
Quick Question
1. In this era of Hustle Culture and Toxic Productivity, Do you believe in the idea that periodic Idleness is a good thing?
2. Do you agree that 'Idleness' always has to be attached to the 'Devil's workshop' or something positive ?
