A question raised by Camilla Morton in her book How to Walk in High Hells.
We’re now in a society where everything we do, necessitates pulling out something from our pocket too, whether Ms. Morton agree or not, there’s nothing like free lunch in this space and time. But let’s see, here’s what she suggested on how you can spend nothing;
You can climb to the top of the hill and take in the view
You can paddle in the sea and build sand castles
(just make sure Storm Juan has left completely before doing this)
You can watch the clouds change and make shapes
(I wonder if I can do this under scorching sun on top of our roof)
Sit in a park, and play designer label I Spy
(just plain people watching will do, I do this sometimes)
Watch a spider weave a web
(note: you can't find spider in your offices now, the janitor will be fired if there things of this kind hanging, maybe back in your ancestral home will do)
Feel the wind blow in your hair
(I missed this experience, I think I should do this one of these days)
Laugh till your face and stomach hurt
(make sure they know you do it for therapy, or else people seeing you might think something else)
I think I’m convinced, thanks Ms. Morton.
