So many
have responded-
Energy
is striking
a reflection
that
I share
in hopes
of re-energizing
and taking care
for each who read.
Sometimes
when I am
tired,
I realize
this weariness
is the result
of having given
my energy
to others,
usually
lovingly.
Then,
what
I need
is to give
myself
quiet to restore.
There are different
ways
to recover from
fatigue.
For me,
it isn’t always
a matter
of needing
more sleep,
but having
enough time
to read,
to think,
to meditate,
or just sit
in a comfortable chair.
Watching
the patterns of
leaves
blowing in the wind,
listening to
chattering birds,
feeling
a cool breeze
or the warmth
of the sun-
all have restorative
power.
For me,
physically,
emotionally,
overstimulated,
at a crossroads,
I have
learned to welcome
the
tiredness
as
a protective gift.
How do you
feel
in this moment,
today?
