But I can't. Most of us can't. We run out of gas. The machine runs out of fuel. Well, for starters, we can stop typing long enough to remember how to dream.
Modern society frowns on contemplation.
It has convinced us we must be doing all the time. If you work in a modern corporation you know that if you spend a lot of time staring at the wall, you're going to get your walking papers. It won't matter. You have to be going, going, going, proving to any who observe that you are actively engaged and interested. Don't even mention what happens if you try this contemplation thing outside of work.
