The ultimate preparation for each coming day
But what's this?
To prepare for sleep at the end of a day?
Pushing our children and ourselves to work hard, play hard and shave our sleep time away leaves little room for preparing to sleep.
Softening the edges of work and play yet keeping any joy, excitement or passion
can enhance our daily experiences.
Preparation to sleep ~
merely lowering the volume of life
softening the sound and fury of a day
gentling challenges that stir the soul
easing off the heavy boots of travel or work
calming minds filled with problems or worries
turning lights down as the sun goes down.
Awakening ~
when sleep is accepted and welcomed
when preparation has been exercised
feels refreshed and rejuvenated
for whatever shows up in the coming day.
