Gift of Night

Sipping on my bedtime tea, a concoction of licorice and valerian root, I’m reminded of peace in the stillness. Calm in the quiet. Presence in the moment.

Breaths like steady waves, pulling in and away. Warmth coming from my core as I find a good thought to settle. Forgetting the woes and worry, what are those?

In this moment my mind is separate. Separate from the world as I fall deeper into myself. Into the core of my being where simplicity lives.

For now, this is peace. This is stillness and calm. This is quiet and presence. This is the place I will leave my weary mind to rest. This is the gift of night.

Thank you for reading. May you find rest in this chaotic world.
