I love to watch my kids sleep. I enjoy this for many reasons;  to witness a state of deep relaxation, to observe their sweet features,  and to know that I may have a chance to take a nap myself. I usually don’t, but just knowing I could makes me feel better. I need a very long nap today, but can’t. My house is busy with relatives and kids, and I’m supposed to be working. I’m not, but instead am trying to find a peaceful place within, and some clarity, and some relief from a dark dog of exhaustion that has sat upon me and won’t get up.
