Hey Readers,
I want to focus on resting spiritually and emotionally. There is more to rest than just the physical; when the physical isn't being re-energized, neither is the spirit or mentality. It takes a lot to be able to recognize when you need a break from everything.
Sometimes, it's not always possible to go on a vacation or a small getaway from daily activities. However, I truly urge you to set aside time for yourself. What good is getting everything done rapidly if you get burned out? I hope this piece personifies how important it is. Rest and restore yourself- physically, mentally, and spiritually. Please take care.
It wasn't that she didn't like to talk
For hours and hours could pass before she realized
She had to part from her friends
It wasn't that she refused to go places
For the green trees and soft breeze brought her security
It wasn't that she gave up on her goals
Nothing in this world would come from staying still
Never acting on the dreams that kept her happy
In it all, she liked, wanted, and pursued
But her spirit has limits
In her spirit, she needed rest
The happenings of her daily routine
Takes its toll on her
And encourages the energy she gives to everything else
To slide away, beckoning the call of sleep
It wasn't about long naps or ten hour slumbers
It wasn't about being mean or secluded forever
It was about balance
She wasn't leveled out in her mental or spiritual needs
For to be in a space of peace and quiet
To be "off the radar" so to speak just long enough
To restore
To be
To breathe
To rest
Her bones yelled for calming steadiness
And then, energy would
Revisit and thrive once more
It wasn't that they wouldn't understand
It wasn't that anyone wouldn't support it
But would she recognize when she needed time to recollect herself again?
It was imperative
It was necessary at least
For it wasn't that she wanted to be rude
But she needed her mind and spirit to be in sync
Rest and restore
