emptying out. filling up.

********

take this time to listen to your body.

take this time to heal and to rest. 

this i heard, not from just one, but from many. 

i was gently encouraged to take time for myself, for healing. 

it was difficult for me to accept defeat and surrender. 

that's how i felt, at first. 

but now, i see this as a gift, enforced time away from work,

to rest, to recover, to make right my spirit. 

i have pushed myself for too long, too hard. 

it is time to find some holy.
