That idle time.........
Sitting on the back verandah
or by the corner window
Gazing over grassed paddock
or paved car park
It matters not.........
Seeking space for ideas to fit
or making sense of that observed
Reconfiguring patterns known
or grappling with the unknown
It matters not...........
From farm to c-suite
experience is the same
Answers emerge from deep thought
ideas grow in unfettered space
It matters.....that idle time

It's amazing to think of what could have been accomplished in ones life or collectively for the world with all that idle time. It reminds me of a statement made to me when I was taking flight training in the rugged coastal mountains of British Columbia Canada....."There is nothing more useless than the blue sky above you and the landing spot behind you when your engine quits and you're looking for solutions. ....As it relates to the above...You can't go back and recover the lost idle time, so make the most of what's still in front of you!
