In that vulnerable hour before sleep,

despair and loneliness and things like

these may come to call, but do not

allow them to wail too loud or cause

a mighty roar. They may simply be linked

to ‘tired.’ So, notice them, yes. Say, “I see

you there–welcome,” but then let them be

what they are and not envelop your heart

entire. If they visit again, then you may

listen. Not to depress, but as useful

information of what your heart might be

trying to speak, but your brain hasn’t

listened. Your heart may do the feeling,

but your mind can adjust and bring

change. These feelings are not fatal,

but clues to instruct, things that you

need to know to intentionally bring

balance and wellness to your soul

~~~~

—-notice the feeling, but remember that you are in charge
