My wife sent me this post from The Contemplative Monk written by Jeff Foster and Titled, “Let Yourself Rest.”
Seeing as how we are emerging from more than a year of very stressful times, I thought that it important that I share it. I think we all need some rest.
“If you’re exhausted, rest.
If you don’t feel like starting a new project, don’t.
If you don’t feel the urge to make something new,
just rest in the beauty of the old, the familiar, the known.
If you don’t feel like talking, stay silent.
If you’re fed up with the news, turn it off.
If you want to postpone something until tomorrow, do it.
If you want to do nothing, let yourself do nothing today.
Feel the fullness of the emptiness, the vastness of the silence, the sheer life in your unproductive moments.
Time does not always need to be filled.
You are enough, simply in your being.”
If you feel like eating a whole bowl of Bing cherries, do it!! What are you going to do or not do?
