Approaching ageing by asking, 'Where does my value rest?'
Fran Kirby
A couple of weeks ago, a supermarket assistant ID’d me when I tried to buy a box of matches.
I thought it was hilarious. She, having discovered that I’m in my mid-30s, was mortified. But in her defence, perhaps my hat was to blame (or thank).
How do I rest when the pastures aren't so 'green'?
After struggling with insomnia for all my adult life, I can tell you with great confidence that there are many different reasons why someone may struggle to sleep. Rest, with which sleep overlaps so much, is obviously the same.
Just as the shepherd calls the sheepdog away so the sheep can settle, resting requires us to safeguard ourselves – for a while and as best we can – from those things which conspire to keep us constantly in physical, mental or spiritual motion.
