Open Your Mind. Wise Passiveness

In "Expostulation and Reply" Wordsworth talks about feeding your mind with wise passiveness. To me, this means that one should sit back and take it all in. In other words, instead of trying to be involved in everything and searching for knowledge, one should take in their surroundings and try to appreciate things the way they are. For example, in this poem, Wordsworth closes with "I sit upon this old grey stone, and dream my time away," I think by saying this he is explaining that sometimes in nature, you see things and they give you a feeling of happiness, or any other feeling for that matter, without really having to think about why or how it makes you feel this way. Sometimes a person can smell certain things and it brings back a memory or puts an image in your head of something, like smelling a pine tree could make you think of Christmas with your family. There are so many things that you can learn from nature without even having to disturb any part of it. Also, I think that the wise part of wise passiveness, would be to put yourself in a place or situation that you could take everything in.
