"I suspect our ability to ask the unanswerable questions that  Hannah Arendt knew are the heartbeat of civilization is  intimately related to our capacity for dwelling in a particular  state of being beyond the realm of our compulsive doing.  Bertrand Russell called it “fruitful monotony.”   Adam Phillips called it “fertile solitude.”   Walt Whitman called it “loafing.”  The Buddhist tradition describes it simply as presence.  Whatever we may call it,  amid a culture of filling the existential void with cultish  productivity and an endless stream of dopamine-laced  distractions, it is nothing less than a countercultural act of  courage and resistance to enact such states of being  — states in which our inner voice becomes audible,  the voice with which we sing the song of our lives."
