Rest as a Vector

Well, I got almost nothing done today

Work piled up like unread emails

Questions buzzing —

“Am I really in charge here?”

We spent the whole afternoon at the pool

Body lighter. Mind clearer.

Water’s gentle cradle

rocked my shoulders free of doubt

Sunlight sifted through my thoughts

like fine sand through fingers

(wait, why is there sand at a pool?)

If rest can be progress,

what if stillness is my new vector?

How do “successful” people

measure the breadth of a quiet day?

Could doing less be the path forward —

for you, for me, for all of us?
