If we look to the pace of mainstream culture to understand what rest is and how much we need -- we'll be lost. Dizzy, in fact. Don't believe the hype; rest like your life depends on it. Cause it does.
"Rest first, then see what wants to sing. In fact, rest until you want to sing." How beautiful and necessary of a reminder. Thank you Malika for this. I learned about Tricia Hersey's work from someone else actually, and the concept of rest as a form of resistance. I haven't read her book yet but do love that idea, although I'm absolutely subject to the guilt that comes from any thought of resting, especially as a mother of a toddler.
Thank you for the reminder. I took a deep breath in and out after finishing this piece.
