Goldfish

The Goldfish, 1912 by Henri Matisse

Humans: 

“We’ve got to DO SOMETHING!"

Earth: 

"Why no. 

No you do not. 

Please, please please 

don’t do anything!

Sit quietly in a quiet room. 

Listen to birds, or the trickle of water, or waves on a beach. 

Hear the sounds of silence.

Daydream. 

Stare at goldfish in a bowl for hours.

Nap.

Please remember this.

You don't have to do anything."
