Rest
Don’t ask yourself if you deserve this rest. In fact, don’t think about the rest at all. Just rest. And tomorrow, do it again, forever building a kind womb of care for yourself until you realize that rest was always your sacredly given birthright.
What is the rest of
What we have
To give today?
Are we not always
Finding it?
The rest of the truth,
The rest of the story,
The rest of these moments,
The rest of a poem,
The rest of resources,
The rest of attention,
The rest of myself,
Always giving the rest of
Something away…
Rest
"Come away
And rest a while"
I hear the call.
Make a clearing in your life,
Like a clearing in a forest.
A space you can come
Away from it all-
To sit under a tree,
To hear the birds sing,
To breathe in...
And breathe out...
To breathe-
Just breathe
And just be.
