A conversation about slowing down so we can, with gentleness, relax our own patterns and habits and then see them with truthfulness. About how we might be the ones for each other that make this possible. And about how radical, counter-cultural and necessary true rest can be.

Here’s our source for this week:

So, I wrapped myself
tightly in a silk cocoon.

And I told myself that
the only way I was going
to survive was if I slowed
down my healing and I gently
reasoned with all my being.

Because to reason with yourself
is to reflect, and to reflect must
always start with rest.
