ESO!!
For years now, when asked, I have told people that I "don't 'do'
anything." This is my way of encouraging men to stop "adding" things -
just find a way of their own to move in a simple elegance leaving the
woman lots of space/time to be very "there."
Perhaps if I were ever to write a book, it might be called, "Doing
Nothing." (Nothing in this case could easily take several thousand words
to describe). It would then rest on the shelf beside the other book I
would have written if I did anything, "Naps Are Great!"
;-)
(I also liked your suggestion, Charles, as being a very useful exercise
for a lot of people).
