Oliver Sacks in his book, Awakenings, talks about nourishing the human spirit with simple things, whether it comes to work or family. I have found it hard, of late, to tap into that spirit and with an rhythm of life ressembling a military armed force in training, it is increasingly challenging to avoid distraction and reconnect. So, I'll stop in the swarm of activity, I'll rest a tired head on a softening and  supportive pillow, I'll sip tea slowly to accentuate each last sip, I'll speak at a reduced rate because its less expensive to the mind, I'll listen intently to others' woes because they are my own and I'll stop separating my existence from others' because this defies oneness, the real spirit.
