RE: The Pleasure of doing nothing.
Good for you, @fredrikaa. As we get busier and busier, the art of doing nothing becomes of paramount importance. And, it's not really 'doing nothing' either -- that's false advertising -- it's more like 'being everything.' The contemplative life is not passive. This I've learned over decades as a reader, writer and thinker.
And, that's precisely how I check out and meditate: reading, writing, thinking... which helps me slow down to a stillness, so that I can do something deeper than thinking: Being.
Silence helps to take me there as well as walks, too, in connecting to nature and, if I'm lucky, bird-watching :)
Wishing you a pleasant and restorative weekend, my friend _/|\_
