Permission to Rest
Being unwell steals time away from other things.
So every minute matters.
I don't have the luxury of slowing down.
And if I stopped, I wouldn't be able to start again.
But maybe that's the point.
My body speaks to me in symptoms.
It’s my job to trust that it's telling the truth.
When I deny myself rest, I’m withholding a kindness that only I can provide.
