Days Off and Other Digressions gathers contemplative essays that explore the restorative power of leisure, nature, and quiet reflection. Blending gentle humor with lyrical prose, the author reflects on the value of stepping away from routine to reconnect with the rhythms of the natural world and the deeper currents of thought. Whether describing a forest trail, a fireside moment, or an unhurried journey, each piece offers a reminder that rest is not idleness-but a vital part of a well-lived life.
