Days shrink.
Nights grow longer.
This time of year our bodies
ask for more rest to be made stronger.
But, ignoring the shifting of the seasons,
we charge forward
with electric clocks
and electric lights,
keeping the same schedule
day and night.
We forget it’s all connected -
our bodies, our minds,
the turning of the earth,
the sun,
the moon,
and all the rest.
We defy these rhythms
and wonder why
we are not at our best.
So if you’re feeling less
creative and clear,
take a look at the rest
and an answer may appear.
