The name "Lá Nollag Beag" is a direct translation of the word "Epiphany" according to www.englishirishdictionary.com! Of course Lá Nollag Beag is the name of the day which is the Feast of Epiphany and not a light-bulb moment but that suits me fine. This blog begins with an event on the 6th January and I feel it could become a kind of little birth of christ within myself... The blog's theme is a journey back to God.

"How to be Idle"

I've blogged about the guilt I feel associated with working part-time. I've tried to justify it by making appointments with friends and relatives. By using my time for others, not just for myself.

This great book quotes from other authors, speech-makers, poets, philosophers.

Doing nothing never harmed anyone. I paraphrase but it's hard to argue. Unless, of course, doing nothing is letting bad stuff happen. But let's not get into too complex an argument.

It's my new "bible". It's not about being lazy. But about taking pleasure from things like stopping for a cup of tea. And there's nothing against doing fits of hard exerted work.

And I'm reading it idling, a chapter here, a chapter there. Lovely.
