For When You Need To Withdraw From The World

I'd like you to know that those who love you are there when you're ready.

I know that sometimes you need to retreat.

Sometimes you need to draw back from the wild to rest.

Sometimes you sense the need to withdraw and to rest.

And sometimes your mind and body force you to because you haven't picked up on the signs.

That's okay.

I know that sometimes there's just far too much going on.

Past,

Present and future.

Too much,

Too fast.

Our brains and our bodies all work differently.

And for those who burn as brightly as you do,

Sometimes the fuel runs low.

Will you sit with me?

Will you allow me to be with you for a few minutes?

We can rest together.

Sitting.

Settling.

Side by side.

You're safe here.

There's nothing to fear.

No judgement.

Life is complex and you are a bright star.

You give so much and you bring so much.

And sometimes you need to replenish.

I understand that.

Those who love you know you need to rest.

No rush.

Just take care of yourself.

And please ask for help if and when you need it.

Those who love you are here when you are ready.

Those who love you are here when you're ready.

And may you know that you are loved.

Deeply loved and appreciated.

Thank you for letting me sit with you today.
