This weekend there’s the Farmer’s Market, the Melbourne Art Fair, the Film Festival and the Rose Street Artists’ Market. There’s friends, family and spouses to see. There’s the fat weekend paper to read, DVDs to watch and the radio to tune in to. There’s exercise to be sweated and a spot of cleaning to do. And, then there’s silence. Staying home. Doing nothing.
Schedule some in. Ignore everything except the feeling of the air temperature on your exposed skin. The sound of your blood pumping. The flavour of butter on toast. The number of chews between swallows.
Just sit for a bit.
Then, maybe think about going out...
