![Garden](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ea/fd/eafdb338-c9b6-4f87-8363-78ab94cc3a18/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Garden-300x225.jpg)

From [Wikipedia's entry on the Paschal Triduum](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschal%5FTriduum?ref=thedailyeudemon.com): "The period that lasted from Thursday morning to before Easter Sunday began was once, in Anglo-Saxon times, referred to as 'the still days.'"

There's something about "stillness" that captivates. At least me, whether it's the stillness Pieper discusses in *Leisure, the Basis of Culture*, or the stillness of a garden, which I increasingly find the best trivial pursuit of all time, or the stillness of quiet reading.

I doubt I'm alone. I speculated [years ago](https://thedailyeudemon.com/27296/) that people were flocking to quiet activities--golf, gardening, bird watching, just to name a few in my diverse family circles--because they want to escape the noise that is modern life. And noise, of course, is the auditory form of a lack of stillness.

So enjoy the Still Days.

Until my feeble mind forgets it, the phrase is going to be one of my favorites going forward.
