Time/energy and how to find true rest when your schedule has you running like mad…

I am very busy, right now, with many things on my plate each day and I can see myself slipping into old beliefs of time and energy scarcity.
Never enough time.
Never enough energy.

today the air is full of noise and fear
chitter chatter
skitter scatter

i take a breath
listen deeper
watch the light move across the wall

trying to hear my own wisdom
