When Will I Rest.
So many times I've had to shut off my mind, shut off my emotions, shut off my life to be the comforter, to be the peacemaker, to be the one in charge. The day has lingered and my body, my mind and yes my spirit are worn out..........
When Will I Rest.
I've dealt too long with the insanity of others, the anger of others, the sadness of others and yes, the selfishness of others. The walls that I have tried so hard to tear down around my heart, the cold hard bricks that shut out the world and shut me in seems to have been in vein. The more I try to tear down, the more others come to replace them...........
When Will I Rest.
They need me now, they need me to help them through their sadness, their insanity, their pain, their anger, their Journey. They need so much, they need so much. Their need will stop one day, a sad day, a mournful day. They will rest, they will find peace, they will start a new Journey.........
When Will I Rest.
Others seem to rise up to take their place, to need, to find comfort, to find peace and fight me all the way on their journey because of their anger, their insanity, their frustration. They struggle, they cry for help, they look for answers, they look for peace, they look for rest..........
When Will I Rest.
I should lay back down, close my eyes and see if the peace comes, the rest comes, the sleep comes. I should let go of this day of anger, of pain, of insanity and sadness. I should try to let go, to rest, to sleep for tomorrow the Journey continues.
When Will I Rest.

Sometimes rest is as easy as closing one's eyes, shutting out the world and simply saying NO! Without apology. Just NO!
You will find that the earth continues to spin on its axis, even when we (YOU) stop playing the role of Atlas!

I know my friend....
I woke up in middle of the night as I have the last couple of weeks, unable to sleep with so much anxiety of the day and needed to put my feelings into words. As you remind me, this too shall pass but the road ahead still has so many twist and turns that have to be met head on. I know I can't solve the worlds problems....but today I have take those twist and turns and work through them one at a time untill the road sees birghter days. Thanks for your sound advice as always and for being The Best.
