Sometimes you have to sit down with yourself and be like okay, make coffee, take a shower, eat a big protein breakfast, light incense, free write, pull out your winter clothes, read some Toni Morrison, call someone you love and don’t talk to me until it’s done.

Swimming, One Day in August

by Mary Oliver

It is time now, I said, for the deepening and quieting of the spirit among the flux of happenings.

Something had pestered me so much I thought my heart would break. I mean, the mechanical part.

I went down in the afternoon to the sea which held me, until I grew easy.

About tomorrow, who knows anything. Except that it will be time, again, for the deepening and quieting of the spirit.
