Choose to be still,
Choose to be silent on purpose,
This can be a radical act,
Let's pause being productive,
Let's pause being booked and busy.
With stillness and with silence comes deep knowing,
There's no space for insights when you're constantly doing,
Moving,
Striving,
Resisting,
Trying.
The insights come when you're still.
My darling sit down and rest,
Sit down and rest regularly,
Sit down and rest like your life depends on it,
Because in many ways it does.
People might wonder what you're doing and the simple answer is nothing,
Absolutely nothing.
And they might think you're mad as a March Hare,
But that's okay.
Stillness and simplicity are especially important if you have been treated or if you are treated as if your labor is your worth.
Rest your eyes,
Rest your feet,
Put down the bags,
Rest your shoulders,
Release the knot,
Rest your belly,
Rest your heart.
There are some truths,
There are some revelations that come to us only when we sit down.
Know that even when you sit,
Even when you rest,
You are still enough,
You are sacred and you are so,
So loved.
There are truths,
Revelations,
Guidance,
Whisperings,
Hints that will only come to you when you sit down.
So please sit down and rest regularly,
Enjoy the stillness and thank you so much for practicing with me today.
