Invariably my weekends are filled to the brim
With social commitments and chores- the chances are slim
That I get a lazy afternoon with no agenda defined
An afternoon without any pressure on my mind
Some precious hours for me to browse through books
At the library, or an elaborate meal cook
From scratch, using herbs fresh and fragrant
Mindfully peeling, chopping, sautéing every ingredient
Or sitting at my desk with art supplies before me
Creating art using brushstrokes unhurriedly..
An afternoon at a leisurely pace spent
Doing something worthwhile without a predetermined intent..

I had unstructured time available to me, therefore
On a lazy afternoon I accomplished more
Than I would on an afternoon that was “busy”
Extra time for me is the ultimate luxury
Passion...unbridled
