Helen "HP" Rivers

Sleep when sleep comes
Cry when tears come,

Carve peace signs into every candle
Weave mercy into every prayer

Dance when Spirit says dance
Bake when Spirit says bake –

Grieve.
Rest.
Pray.
Rinse.
Repeat .

Until the work is done or
Until you are too empty
to keep trying –
whichever
comes
first.

(But I think
You’ll keep
trying. I’ll
Keep
trying
Too.)
