On Napping
Posted by Chad under: Food for Thought .
Some of you know my fondness for tea. My favorite is Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime - an herbal blend of chamomile and mint. Doctors tell us today that stress is the main cause of serious illness. So, a little relaxation doesn’t hurt. Anyway, Celestial Seasonings always has a story on every box, so I thought I’d share this with some of you who could use some rest.
On Napping
David Jacoby“When we were young, the ‘tall’ ones told us when to slow down.
When the demands of the world became too great, their powers
of reasoning proved maddeningly accurate. ‘I think someone’s tired,
they observed. And off for a nap we went. Ten minutes later, our dreaming
faces had put us back in good favor with our exasperated parents. When we
woke, the world somehow made sense again. What kind of truth might a
napping child impart to us? Now we are the tall ones, living in a complicated
world with no one to tell us when to slow down. The slumbering little one knows
the value of not having the last word, of accepting a minor defeat. It’s so simple.
Miss out on something. Put yourself back in your own good favor.
The world will wait.”
