Rest for the Long Work
Before you begin
For people doing long work — care, campaigning, community. Lie or recline if you can.
The practice, step by step — read it all first if you like
Put the cause down
Set the cause beside you, respectfully, for these minutes. It will be there when you return.
Receive
Let yourself receive rather than give: the chair holds you, the air feeds you, time is not billing you.
Bless the companions
Bring to mind others doing the work. You are a river, not a solo cup of water.
Return resourced
Choose one way you will rejoin the work rested rather than ragged.
Accessibility
Designed for the exhausted; zero performance required.
How long do you have?
Or read through it quietly above, at your own pace.
