In this modern world, activity are the default modes, if not with our bodies at least with our minds, with our attention.
We rush around all day, doing things, talking, emailing, sending and reading messages, clicking from one link to the next.
There is no time for stillness.
And sitting in front of a frenetic computer all day, and then in front of the hyperactive television, doesn’t count as stillness.
We lose peace.
