I love, love, love down time when I can flit between reading, napping, knitting, watching something, and maybe more napping. Long plane rides are good for that. Thanks for the piece.
I don't consider idle time laziness, rather, for me it's a time for reverie, contemplation, freedom from the external world of chaos, a time to listen to the leaves rustling, a time of mystery and wonder. I believe the idea of "lazy" is a form of self harm coming from a punitive culture where being "busy" is somehow preferred to being otherwise.
