May 9, 2017, Prescott-
I was ill, today.
It’s been a long time,
twenty years, in fact,
since I have been too ill
to go to work.
So, here I am,
having been in bed
most of the day.
Our bodies remind us
that we are dual creatures.
The physical frame lasts
longer for some,
than for others.
The spirit keeps on ticking,
regardless of the licking.
So, I slept, deeply,
and dreamed of my kids
working through their challenges.
When I get up,
to pray, to read the newspaper,
to get the mail, and to get in the car
and take care of an errand,
it felt like the weight of the world
was pressing down.
It’s not so much that way, right now.
My body will accept going to work,
the rest of the week.
Duality-
It’s like that with groups, too.
My team can be maddeningly fastidious,
about dots and tittles,
of student behaviour.
When I needed their understanding,
today, though,
the word was
“Get your rest,
we’ve got it all covered.”
That’s what I love most about life.
It works out, when essential.
Sometimes we have to listen to the physical and not just the spiritual voices. The duality is not so separate – the body will have its say and is a huge influence on the mind and soul. Hoping you are recovered and feeling refreshed from your deep slumber!
Feel better soon!
I am better, already, though a full day at work has me ready for a good night’s rest.
Good you took care of yourself. You are very healthy so you must have been really sick. Healing prayers and an air hug.
Thanks for your prayers and well-wishes!
Sounds like you have a good team Gary…feel better soon!
I’m glad you are better.
Me, too!
Hope you feel better soon.
I do, today, thanks!
May you be feeling better and up and around on your feet soon, my friend.
I made the fledgling steps toady, and was back at work. One more night’s rest will complete the recovery.
Hope you’re feeling much better kind sir. Blessings.
I felt better by Thursday, and have had a full weekend. Now back to waging the good fight, for two more weeks.
