This TED talk (The Art of Stillness by Pico Lyer) gave me license to continue taking time for and creating more time for stillness in my life. I take time to be quiet every day as I read my scriptures while Peter is napping. I've also realized I want to make more time for it by writing in my journal more often. It also made me want to find even more times and ways to make room for real stillness (pure, unadulterated thinking) in my life on a regular basis.
As far as design goes, I like the implications this has for schools. Learners should be able to take time each day for being quiet (reading, writing, etc.) and for being still which seems to imply just sitting and thinking. Another implication is that there should be spaces that enable and encourage quietude and stillness.
