Respite

23 …
Cold winter nights warmed by feather-soft pillows, fresh sheets and heavy blankets do the charm.  They ease the body into combined luxury, coziness and security.  You could be sure on impact that your shivering body will relax in no time.  You could be sure that after you engage in rhythmic flex and point exercises your feet and toes, arms and shoulders, you are halfway there to a good night’s rest.  You could be sure that when you quiet your mind and tell it to stay in the clear you will get to that zone of lucidity you are aiming.  With three or more deep breaths, you could be sure that your body, from head to toe, will soon calm down, rest easy and get you lulled into that homerun sleep.
