It's Sweet Doing Nothing, 1879 - John William Waterhouse

It's Sweet Doing Nothing, 1879 _ by John William Waterhouse, 1879

"Life is a story with chapters unfolding, and of being possessed by love and lust, and want along the way." Quote by _Constance There are times in my life of want and lust, things that I sought out with hunger: cravings and desires that were a must, of course, then, I was much younger; with a love and thirst for meaningless things, with a lust and yearning for everythings. But, after years of want I was left torn, the excitement was now broken: I wanted to be free and be reborn, my wish for freedom unspoken; I became more aware and quite mindful, finding that meditation was vital. I released myself to sweet dreamy rest, my mind ... peace and serenity: and in quietness I have been so blessed, blissful in tranquility; in delightful silence I love to repose, enraptured with driftiing words ... I compose.
