A Time to Dream, a Time to Sleep
Leaning into the darkness

Resting. Deeply.
Letting out a loud sigh. Almost like a growl, coming from the depths of my chest.
Allowing my shoulders to drop away from my ears.
Unclenching my jaw, unfurrowing my brow.
A hand on my belly, feeling it rise and fall with my slowing breath, and the other on my chest.
Crawling into the cold sheets. My head hitting the pillow, thoughts and worries evaporating. Wrapping the fluffy duvet around me. The day behind me a distant memory, the day ahead a distant future.
And then welcoming the dreams. Vivid, colourful. I’m talking, singing, dancing in places my mind sews together from puzzle pieces. Meeting old friends and finding ones I’ve never met. Airing out frustrations. Screaming out in anger. Whispering words of love.
As November’s darkness fully envelops me, I’m falling in love with deep rest again. Slowing down, breathing and letting my dream life come alive at night.
What is something you’ve fallen in love with lately?
This short form was inspired by Sharing Randomly’s invitation.
If I’m tagging you here, it’s because I’m really curious about what you have fallen in love with lately.
