This was a light week. We focused on rest.

Rest

Nothing in this culture wants us to have rest. Wants us to have ease. Wants us to have care. The softness was stolen. Our dreamspace has been stolen. Our space to just be has been stolen.

Tricia Hersey, The Nap Ministry

We take it back anyway.

Rest is not the absence of work. It’s not falling behind. It’s not something to apologize for or explain.

Rest is regulation. Rest is repair. Rest is how we stay present for the work that matters.

Regulation before output. Recovery before momentum. We build at a pace that doesn’t break us, because the work requires us to still be here.

A light week is a week we listened to what we needed and did that instead.

Light weeks are part of the work.

Rest is not falling behind. Rest is how we stay.
