Nap Culture

Challenges come in all sizes:
paying bills when the money’s tight
including rent, groceries and gas for the car
voting for just the right party to run the country

And then there’s the small ones:
taking a nap in the late afternoon
with the comfortablest blankie
when energies have been stretched and spent to the limit.

Naps for children are normal for most
(‘cept for me ‘cause I didn’t want to miss something)
Naps for adults are tinged with guilt for not doing something ~
That needs to change!

There must be this change in this great world of ours
so that naps are normal for most
not just normal, but expected and done
peacefully, calmly and with a purpose only to nap.

“Learn from yesterday, live for today, look to tomorrow, rest this afternoon.”

~ Charles M. Schulz, Charlie Brown’s Little Book of Wisdom
