Rest

"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you, not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. " - John 14:27
I read this verse countless times today as I lay slumped on the sofa with a raging headache and a rapidly beating heart, too sick to move my body, yet mentally too active to meditate. Previous incidences replayed and imagined futures flashed. Having a million and one whirling thoughts has never been bothersome, for I've adapted to this condition like how diabetes adapted to lifelong condition of low insulin, but as of today it became a burden.
I suppose it'd to take a triple dosage of poor physical health, high stress work day and a very ruffled household scene to come home to at the end of the day to finally make me feel devoid of rousing emotions. No anxiety, no sadness, no fear. My body is finally at rest, at least from fatigue, and I pray that my mind will be at rest too. |
