Lesson From the Heart

Lesson From the Heart

The heart has a moment of rest between beats
Even the heart in its job of keeping us alive
rests
knowing the power of resting
essential to the doing
The pause, the softening
From where true action can emerge

How often I choose doing
over resting
believing the power is in the action
and only there, in the doing
more, and again and more and better

Can I lean into the back of the heart
choose the moments of rest
knowing it's the thing that keeps the heart going
and going
is pausing and pausing
waiting
for the true moment for action to arise again
