Not Very Kafkaesque

I've never read any novels by Franz Kafka because I've never came across anything described as "Kafkaesque" that would  "spark joy" - to use a Marie Kondo expression. I'm drawn to books and movies with a positive message...

But recently - in a book on nurturing creativity - I came across a Kafka quote that actually sounded interesting. Writing about the need to be alone to nurture creativity, the author quoted Kafka:

You do not need to leave your room .... Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

I don't know if his saying that "the world will freely offer itself to you" refers to imagination, to the solving of a problem, or to something else entirely. But the quote resonated with me because I'm one of those people who needs to spend time in solitude every day - just to clear my mind.
