There is time to breathe
and there is time to grieve
and time enough to sing songs with friends
and make pie and grow a garden.
There is even time enough to stop and say to your friends,
“My heart is too heavy for this work right now.
I need to care for myself and be cared for.”
And to not walk away,
but just begin to work on a different part of that ship
we are all building.
