Sacrificing Your Center

[Don’t Dismiss It - IX]

Music needs rest.
Or it’s a continuous cacophony.

Professional athletes need rest.
Or they get injured.

High-powered executives need rest.
Or they’re jerks.

Even God needs rest.
That’s why there was a seventh "day”.

The ego, however, hates rest . . .

But our souls need it.
To do beautiful work.
To avoid injury.
To not be a jerk.
To create.

Don’t dismiss the truthful needs of the soul for the inflated cravings of the ego. Or, don't sacrifice your center for your compulsion to do it all.
