Yes, it is a bit of an artform, I suppose. The thing I find both fascinating and disturbing is just how many people who were idling suddenly feel compelled to start doing something when I happen upon them... like being caught idling is akin to being caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
There's something ironic about it, too... because there's a billion dollar industry out there, teaching people how to relax, meditate and whatever... people PAY to do these things, yet view their natural outcome — stillness and no-thing — with skepticism and suspicion.
Humans are strange!
