Rest

Rest.
A voice whispers gently to me
I try to shake it off
There is is so much that needs to be done
New Year
New Life
New Me

Rest.
A hand is on my shoulder
There is a dull pain as I move away
I need to plan
Build
Accomplish

Rest.
All my muscles are being pulled down
They feel so heavy, so tired
I sink to the ground
There is so much to do
My mind protests in resistance

Do something
Become something
Make something
Make a difference
Make yourself
Make good children
Make relationships
Make money

Shhhh.

Feel the coolness of the ground
Feel the warmth of the sun
Feel the breeze caressing your skin
Feel the birdsong dancing in your ears
Feel the grass penetrating your sight
Feel the Earth beneath you
Feel the Cosmos above you

Rest.
Breathe.
Deeply.
My body says to me.

Rest.
Feel.
Deeply.
My heart says to me.

Rest.
Surrender.
Deeply.
My essence says to me.

Be.
Just be.
That
Is
Enough.
