Rest is restoration for our immune systems as well as the rest of us. The restaurant of the soul. Think about loafing Whitman who contained multitudes. Remember that each of us is host to many life forms that carry on even when we cruise.
Since quitting my job to focus on graduate school and painting, I have felt so much guilt about idle or “wasted” time. Our ability to have grace and understanding for others’ rest but little understanding for ourselves when we are resting, is sad and counterproductive and also a problem for almost everyone I know and love. Thank you for shining light on these little ways we hold our needs against ourselves, in hopes that we can learn to be gentler. As important as momentum is, so is quiet and replenishment!!!
