Rest

So simple, yes?

Just doing

Nothing

Not exerting effort

Not attempting longer, harder

Better

Best

Not trying

(Come to think of it)

At all

Except

For me, the off switch is

A little out of reach

A little

Stiff

A little…

Face it, jammed in place and

Never going to move

I haven’t got a rheostat to

Ramp things down, a

Regulator set to

Cycle on and off

I know that I

Need down time, time to

Cool, recalibrate re

Charge

That doing nothing’s really when

Experience sinks in

An anabolic state of change

Frankly, letting go,

Cessation

Feels a little bit too much like

Death

I worry if I

Power down the engine won’t

Restart

So take it one step at a time, meticulous instructions

Breathe

Relax

Release
