OFF LEASH: On napping

dog.JPG quill.jpg
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler.

Normally I am not in the business of doling out nuggets of folksy, homespun wisdom. As a country we are already awash in motivational posters and inspirational books promoting an Oprah-esque brand of glibness masquerading as sagacity. I’m loathe to add to the spew.

That said, if there’s anything I’ve learned in my five-plus years of sniffing around this big backyard we call earth it is this: Take a nap. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, just flop down on the floor and rest for a few minutes. You’ll feel better. Really. And that thing you were so worked up about -- the strange clanking noise, the squirrel on the power line, the unfamiliar smell near the door -- will recede into meaninglessness.
