We've Collectively Lost Our Minds

There was an article in the paper today about how busy kids are in the summers these days...what with all the sports camps and summer classes and art lessons and all that jazz.

Here's a quote from that article: "This (summer busyness) is something that society is telling us to do. Every moment must be filled productively. That compulsion--that's the story...If you ask most kids, they'd say they would like some time to relax. People have lost faith in themselves as parents. They've become so anxious. It's a real public health issue."

Rest.

We've lost the art of it somehow. We've lost our minds.

And, yes, faithful readers, I'll add that to the list of books I need to write.
