a day off is as good as a rest

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2024.07.15

It's a holiday (that notes a time the Emperor rode on a steamboat) and we're holed up in the few rooms that have air condition, each of us doing his/her thing.

The funny thing about my job (ha, ha) is that a day off just piles up more work and makes the rest of the week more of a nightmare than usual.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
