i love those two hour, life-changing naps that slowly remove the foggy spectacles distorting my view, as i drift off to dream of all the magical places my gypsy soul longs to be, while curled up under the many blankets spread across my bed after spontaneously deciding to lie down for just a few minutes to rest my eyes. when i awake, all is right in the world.

i LOVE those kind of naps.

my sweet and lovely friend, sara mednick, who not only gives the best hugs in the world, but also shares my love for this type of slumber, has written a book about the beautiful effects of sleep called take a nap.

love in the end…you can’t take it with.

we ache to touch intimately what is real,

to find the marriage of meaning and matter in

our lives and in the world.

we ache to feel and express the fire of

being fully alive.

when we cultivate and refuse to separate those

essential expressions of a human soul

~ our spirituality, sexuality, and creativity ~

we feed the fire of our being,

we find that place where

the soul and the sensuous meet,

we unfold.

willing to do our creative work and

refusing to separate it from

our sexuality or our spirituality,

we add a life-sustaining breath to the world.
