I always forget
how important the empty days are,
how important it may be sometimes not to
expect to produce anything, even a few lines in a journal.
The most valuable thing we can do for the psyche,

the changing light of a room, not try

the heavier your
losses.
Knowing
what is enough is freedom.
Knowing when to stop is safety.
Practice these, and
you’ll endure.
