Things are shifting, falling into place, strengthening. And I want to jump back into work – pick up all the things I let sit while I was resting.  But a quiet voice from deep within says “Wait. Not yet. Do not push. Nurture the strength that is growing within you. Wait.”

And so I wait. I meditate, and rest, and exercise, and eat well, and read a book that requires nothing of me but brings me great pleasure. I attend to my kids, getting them settled in school. And I wait. The work will be here soon enough. I must be strong and well rested to meet it.
