Rest & Peace

There are two kinds of tired.

One requires rest.

The other requires peace.

I used to need more rest than peace.

Then life said,

That’s enough.

Now you need more peace than rest.

And lately,

I think I need both.

A lot of both.

Rest for the body.

Peace for the mind.

Quiet for the soul.

Maybe that is the secret.

Enough rest to recover.

Enough peace to breathe.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

Rest.

Peace.
