The peace of inactivity


There is much joy 
To be found in prayerful hibernation; 
In resting in the quiet chill 
And watching as the sun warms the sky,
While holding others’ struggles in your heart;
In knowing, even as you mourn,
That each branch will soon 
Be blessed with fruit again; 
In giving yourself permission 
To occupy this quiet space
As an offering to a world trembling with fear.
