That we cannot have what we want is an offering in itself; an
invitation to shelter and let the day go by without us.
Life will be there in the morning, tapping its foot impatiently.
Afford yourself the same grace you would bestow on a stranger-- permission to stand down.
Self worth dwells in the thickening stillness of our deepest core, offering us the strength to face the approaching storm.

Activity is not accomplishment, nor stillness failure.
Even the center of a hurricane is peaceful.
That we cannot have what we want is an offering in itself; an
invitation to shelter and let the day go by without us.
Life will be there in the morning, tapping its foot impatiently.
Afford yourself the same grace you would bestow on a stranger-- permission to stand down.
Self worth dwells in the thickening stillness of our deepest core, offering us the strength to face the approaching storm.
