Wolfgang Laib and purpose in no purpose

More getting down to the smallest particles of living.
Tonight I read a story in Utne Reader about Wolfgang Laib, not a stranger, I wrote an essay on his work in my dissertation.
What he has that I want: patience; serenity; purpose in no purpose. Awareness; belief in the beauty of his physical world. And, most pointedly for me just now –"A person who refuses to make efficient use of time, who does not actively pursue some concrete goal" and this "is somehow disturbing to the modern psyche."

Check him out. Be sure to click on POLLEN. http://cms.ifa.de/en/exhibitions/exhibitions-abroad/bk/laib/
