REST
to let go for this flow
allowing tasks, decisions
to pass
without you at the center of the solution
identified by your ability to fix and be healer of all
this letting go is to embody a restful posture in an un-rested world
this is a great discipline
safe security is found in the supposed pleasing of others where you
have become all toil, anxiety, and resentment
checking items off on a list that goes on without end
and brings no solace to you or others in your midst
chasing after the doing in such a way
that the other soul could more clearly lay poultice to their own wounded heart
but it doesn't
your scurrying does not actually please them despite their demand for it
the supervisor who acknowledges first your self-care is rare indeed
considered soft and vulnerable
but you cannot be determined by the other
that is but a mere deflection of your own difficult yet necessary choosing
a finding fault with that which you cannot control or the other who you spend time blaming
you must keep your work until the current is strong enough to float you out
do not sabotage it
but do not be a slave to your work or those who ask you to do it a particular way
you must make each decision in a manner that emboldens your work or else it is no work at all
schedule the rest and discipline it by your own need and then work will thrive
more so than if you had never paused to inhale deeply and partake of oxygen rich air
constant exhalation is just barely alive
you must rest and then resume
it does not come in a whole day set apart
sometimes it is simply a breath, a pause, a passing by to let someone else determine this outcome
