from Out With Lanterns, a daily poetry practice
Amen to that! Easy to fall prey to the incessant buzz of busy-ness.
I’m still a rest ‘in progress’ but as I try to shake the need of accomplishment, I watch my stepmom move incessantly, practically panicked that her time is running out.
Yes♥️
"I don’t know what I mean, it’s just that I do not feel
bad for preferring to stay home, stay comfortable, rest."
Oh my goodness. This poem. It's everything. Yes and more yes. And still more yes. I am so with you on this, Julie.
"Everyone in my lineage was taught to glorify busy,
to run herself ragged, to pull on the martyr mask daily.
I refuse. I sit down when I want to sit down."
Here's to sitting down when we want to sit down.
Right? Amen! Thank you so much, Julia.
Absolutely - right. xo
Yes,please. No more martyr masks.
Sounds wonderful. But I am ruled by my self-imposed to-do list. How do you keep your to-do list from taking over? What’s your secret?
Just listening to my body. Works wonders!
I love this and it needs to be read by every single one of us.
