We
are all tired. Really, we are.
It’s a hard road, but it’s also a
beautiful one.
Perhaps we expect too much from ourselves and from
others.
Perhaps humanity can only make slow progress, like an inch worm.
Perhaps we need to celebrate how far we have come more often.
And rest
more.
And relish the simple pleasures.
And look for love everywhere.
There is a river near where I live.
It meanders slowly, peacefully.
It
doesn’t ask itself why it isn’t an ocean, or a raging river, or some
other thing.
It just surrenders to what it is.
Maybe we just need to
surrender more to who we are.
I think I will lie down tomorrow beside
the river.
And take a rest.
And sweet surrender.
