Reconnect with the Wisdom of Your Inner Healer

Rising from the Root... ...continued from page 71

sustenance. Maybe it’s time to reconsider the definition of evolution, replacing “survival of the fittest” with an embrace of discovery and the resilience of rest. The dreams we inhabit when we stop and simply be are the dreams we need for our souls to thrive. Imagine… taking time to take stock and reach for the root of what matters most to us. Imagine… let - ting ourselves be replenished, fully and completely. Imagine… dream - ing the dreams we need to expand and move forward, when we are full and whole and ready. Americans are well-trained to keep on doing, keep on making, keep on driving. My stoic and very successful grandfather said it best, with his wry grin: “There will be plenty of time to nap when I’m dead.” I wonder, though, what dreams he missed as he pushed himself to care for all he loved, tending his responsibilities with dedication and dili- gence. We cannot truly lead, learn, or grow without replenishing our souls. By re-Sourcing from our root, we create a refuge to restore most pre- cious and creative gifts. We claim a sanctuary that prepares us for the journey we were meant to take, when the time for rest is over, with energy to keep us moving with grounded authenticity until it is time, once again, to rest.
