Conversations with God Foundation - Home Work, Purpose, and the Sweetness Of Doing Nothing | My Beautiful Mess In Italy they have a saying, “il dolce far niente“. It means “the sweetness of doing nothing”. Italians live this phrase. It is ingrained in their very nature. To them, time is not something that can be spent, wasted or passed. It simply IS. I live in America. This is what happens to me anytime I find something I like to do. The sad thing is, I still like all of these things. Because even if it’s something (gardening, writing, listening to music)…in America if it’s not done with a purpose, it’s like doing nothing. Sometimes I just want to be Italian.
