I’m not going to lie. The last few weeks have been intense on a high number of levels. It’s been hard work-wise. It’s been difficult in terms of pulling out knives from one’s back. It’s been hard trying to plan the perfect outing for my son. Everything requires thought, forecasting, and being vigilant. I’m not too sure humans should be living like this.

We need rest.

Rest is not just sleep. It is just one part. But we also need sensory rest. Put that phone down. Walk away from computer. Stop the information overload. The mind also has to held in check.

At the end of it all, it is time to rest.
