resting

If,

on a summers day

a bee,

black gold

round and round,

lands on you

stay still

be calm

she merely needs to rest.

rest, something we all need and so very rarely indulge in... for in today's fast paced, gotta' get it done yesterday world, there is an sense that for one to rest, to pause, to take a break for re-grouping, that one is indulging in a spot of laziness, perhaps even a lifestyle of it... this is not the case, the best work comes after a pause, a rest, a vacation.

when we get bogged down in deadlines, always more and always looming too soon, we lose our sense of detail, our sense of priority, our sense of self.

to pause, rest, re-group and return to the work-a-day world is in the best interest of those we work with, work for & will provide us with an opportunity to be better from within ourselves.

to pause is not lazy, to rest is not sloth, to recharge is not getting more caffiene...

it is time well spent, we need to learn to rest a bit, perhaps siesta on occassion, and certainly vacation more often.

we can be better at everything and with everyone when we are rested.
