"In our hurried
age, we have little time for frailty of body or soul.... What we rarely
consider is the value of convalescence, the gentleness we sometimes need to
offer ourselves and those who are weary and worn around us. Sickness is a space
in which the uneasiness (dis-ease) of the body alerts us to the need for
margin, rest, and special quiet.... As much as possible, allow your mind to
quiet, your breath to deepen." -- Sarah Clarkson, The Life-Giving Home
I'm pondering these
words as I cope with illness right now.
