Poem: Sacred Rest

Reclaim, redeem rest as your birthright

Let the process of resting, reflecting, becoming - of BEing in stillness restore us to a natural rhythm - a space that refines our sight and bends our ears toward clarity and truth

Surrender to this embrace

We are here to reclaim and claim our brilliance

It takes courage to slow down, to rest, to embrace stillness, to be at ease in a world that thrives on our exhaustion

Know that a rested body is a free body

Know that a rested heart is a liberated heart

Rest is so much more than lying down

For you the grief stricken, it is a sanctuary - space to be held

For you the warrior, it is a safe place to lay your sword down

For you the writer, it is a fountain of wisdom in your pen

For you the wounded, it is an anointed bandage

For you in the storm, it is holy shelter

For our dreams, it is the blue skies calling out to us

There is power in rest. It is a refuge, a refilling station

We rest to ignite our brilliance, to embody our wholeness, to charge our soul ~Adapted from: Rest is Sacred by Octavia F. Raheem
