Resting Is Doing by Donna Ashworth

If only we could see the power in rest.
If only we could attach to it, the worth it so deserves.
If only we could open our minds to the idea, that everything in nature has its time
to rise and its time to descend.
That each of these acts is just a important as the other.
And that is exactly as it must be.
If only we could see the courage it takes to lay aside the worries, the fears and the
comparison, just for a few hours, to let the mind, spirit and body come together
again.
Doing the one thing they all require so much… nothing.
If only we could see the power in rest.
Because resting is very much doing.
