Take a break

Whether it’s summer or winter.

If you celebrate or not.

It doesn’t matter.

We all need a break.

It’s been such a year.

Of reflection and change.

For me, a year of learning.

Zoom breakdowns and bad lighting.

Supermarket deliveries.

Grapefruit kombucha.

An innocent indulgence.

If kept to one a day.

A year where we scraped the barrel.

Of our own resistance.

Immune system feeling worn.

But holding up through it all.

I am full of hope.

For the new year.

For new ways of being.

And deeper learning.

On a grand scale.

Take a break.

We need a break.

I’m taking one.

And I hope you can too.
