We need time to defuse, to contemplate.
Just as in sleep our brains relax and give us dreams,
so at some time in the day we need to disconnect, reconnect,
and look around us.

Such a sweet photo and memory. And truly sleep is a gift! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThe older we get, the more we treasure that sweet, restorative rest!
DeleteSleepyheads abound. Nothing like an early mornin cuddle fest.
ReplyDeleteThis jumped out at me: “Just as in sleep our brains relax and give us dreams” ... we also need relaxing in our everyday lives to dream and see some dreams materialize.
Nothing like a good nap to revitalize the afternoon. I have learned to nap, I am proud of it
I love me a good early afternoon nap, too, Carol. Dreamers, we are.
Delete15 minutes will do the trick!

I adore the photos! What fun to stage each picture! There is nothing like rest and as I read Shelly Miller's, Rhythms of Rest, I am learning more about this. Plus when we went through Invitations to Silence and Solitude together, I knew I needed to choose time that looked very different than busyness.
ReplyDeleteOur Invitation to Solitude and Silence conversations were so enriching, weren't they, Mary. Some books just beg to be savored and shared
