Wool-gathering
wool-gathering
noun:
indulgence in aimless thought or dreamy imagining; absent-mindedness.
This word once literally referred to ‘the act of gathering loose tufts of wool that had gotten caught on bushes and fences as sheep passed by’. I myself am a wool-gatherer. Bring back wool-gathering! May it long prosper!
With the past to look back on, the future to long for, and many an imaginary world to be built — let’s get lost together.
