Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1233 - #RecoveryPeriod
13 Apr, 2026
RECOVERY PERIOD
"If you desire healing
let yourself fall ill."
Rumi
"The medicine is already within the pain and suffering. You just have to look deeply and quietly."
Thomas Hubl
I actually haven't been sick this last week, and yet ...
the body has been depleted.
In between the minimum things I've gotten myself to do,
all I want to do is rest.
And I've been trying to give myself over to that.
Because I know.
I've learned.
If I don't give myself over to retreat, reflection, and recovery the second I feel that first tickle or burn or hint of some kind that something nefarious is there to tackle me and take me down, inhabit me and own me, it will revolt and take me over completely, for far longer than I'm inclined to allow it.
Not everything is healed by rest, but most require moments of retreat and reflection in order to begin recovery.
I am in a period of retreat, reflection,
and recovery.
