There is a part of you that has never been in a hurry,
A part that does not track time,
Does not measure progress,
Does not wait for permission to rest.
This is not a new part,
It has been here long before you learned to manage yourself.
Much of life teaches us to stay slightly braced,
Ready,
Alert,
Prepared for what comes next.
Resting inside who you've always been is not about dropping responsibility,
It is about recognizing that effort is not your natural state.
Notice if there is still a part of you waiting for something to conclude,
Waiting for understanding,
Waiting for resolution,
Waiting for a signal that it is safe to stop.
See if that waiting can soften,
Nothing needs to be wrapped up.
This series does not end with an answer,
It ends with space.
Rest does not require supervision,
It does not improve when observed,
It happens when striving eases.
You are not completing a process,
You are recognizing a steadiness that has always been available.
This steadiness does not need to be maintained,
It is something you return to without trying.
You can let this sense of rest carry forward without effort,
Nothing more is required.
