Why do we resist rest?

Why do we resist rest?

Why must every day be a test?

Do we really think that we always have to be at our best?

Riding the waves of life….every moment on the crest?

It is impossible to maintain this level of zest

Have we forgotten that on this planet we are more than a guest?

On this beautiful planet, in this global nest

We are an intricate part of the whole. A part of the rest

If we are god in human form…are we not simply blessed

For our being…and not our doing..

We’ve got it all wrong. 

This thing we call life…it’s not a contest.

Although, I ve certainly played that way.

 I must contest.

Maybe that’s why we are all so stressed

And bordering on anxiety and being depressed

    Who would have guessed?

We think the answer is moving out west!

Or visualizing what you next want to manifest

     I’ve done the same drill. I can certainly attest!

This is all work for the body, brain and chest.

We must pause….at the body’s behest.

It will take the rest…..

Of our lives to learn this lesson-the hard way. Lest…

We continue to resist

Or…we heed the body’s request for that 

Well needed rest
