In order to maintain our energy, we all need respites from fear, worry, injustice, uncertainty, and doubt.
We need respites from anxiety about the future and regrets about the past.

We need respites from the harsh realities we see around us.
While we may believe that we always need to be on alert during dangerous times, we need respites to move forward effectively.
Do you see respites in my images for today?
