Non-Task Orientation or Right Brain Heaven

This weekend three of my best friends and I spent time doing, well. . . nothing ordinary. We decided to spend unstructured time together, choosing an intention of nurturance for ourselves, each other, and the world around us, but not really pinning anything down besides that.

It filled needs in us that were deep and human, and I believe, largely go unsatisfied in the daily melee.

We watched no television or movies, chose to interact very briefly with computers, and consumed food and drink relatively sparingly.

We talked, shared, performed spontaneous healing work on each other, sometimes sat in silence, composed an intuitive poem, drummed, did a ritual for the emotional and political enlightenment of the world, relaxed, played, and laughed.

The time was so not Task Oriented that it was almost completely refreshing. There were a few times that we didn't know what to do next, and a few left frontal brain lobes got a bit anxious. But that was fine too as long as we refrained from "tasking".

Try it. You'll like it!
