Pleasure, like a glass of wine after hard work, stops the world, preparing an individual to be more receptive to the subtle nuances of his environment, luring him into reverie and reflection.
. . . Pleasure is time-out.

Thomas Moore in The Planets Within: The Astrological Psychology of Marsilio Ficino by Thomas Moore

 

To Practice This Thought:
Identify three things that give you pleasure. Pause to enjoy one of them in the middle of your day.
