This seventh year was where divine wisdom required our ceasing, not our work, a release from toil and tilling.

Learning to create a life giving rhythm

My plate was way too full and I had little time left at the end of my day for rest or play or downtime.

Good darkness is about rhythm and season and knowing that we can let loose on control a little so that things can die, and others can live.
