This could easily become one of my favorite quotes. Brilliant picture also! JM
Thanks JM…I’m trying to embrace a wee bit more stillness these days…so good words for me as well.
T.A. Thank you for posting this quote. Very nourishing!!
Work is not always required. There is such a thing as sacred idleness. George MacDonald
Thanks Carolyn…it’s good to slow down sometimes.
TA, is that the George MacDonald who wrote the Princess and the Goblin? I recall reading the book as a child and falling utterly in love with fiction. Love your posts.

Hi Darlene,
Indeed…the one and the same…here is a link to many of his quotes:
Enjoy,
TA
TA, I like this quote…there is such a thing as sacred idleness….when I retire I intend to search for and find it…the contrast in photos of the sollilquys is refreshing….and the video – I enjoy the humor….I had fun too trying to explain to my cat why he could not get out the back door after the 100cm snowstorm!!

Thanks Paula…it was quite a snow…but sad to be losing it so soon.
