A very insightful essay. I just wrote a short piece where I consider the good things that happened because of the pandemic that I hope will stay in my life even when the virus is finally put to sleep. One of them is the slower pace of life that the pandemic has imposed on me.
Your reflections on the English word "busy" made me consider the relationship between busyness and business -- how our hyper commercial/capitalized world leads us to a temporal deficit. I think you're on to something with prizing coziness and rest! <3
