Or Not Alone

“Smart people spend time alone.  They don’t fill their days with appointments from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., as many politicians and executives do.  Great science does not emerge from hard logic and grinding hours.  It comes from the mysterious resources of the human brain and soul.  Inspiration is nurtured by activities like chopping wood and raking leaves, preparing dinner and reading to the kids.  The activities soften the rigid pace of the day’s pursuits and allow all our God-given intuition to work its unlogical magic.  Only then can we reach our fullest potential.  Only then can we leap from thinking to understanding.”  -  Philip K. Howard

The secret of  life may be gained while walking down the street or holding the hand of a toddler.

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
